When it's 6:00 PM in Ankara, it's 5:00 PM in Tymbou (Kirklar).
Turkish passport holders can enter Northern Cyprus (the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus) freely with a passport or Turkish national ID card, with no time limit on stays. Ercan Airport (ECN) in Northern Cyprus receives direct flights from Turkey. Immigration at Ercan stamps you in immediately. Northern Cyprus uses the Turkish lira and Turkish is the primary language, making it a natural extension of travel from Turkey.
For the Republic of Cyprus (the southern part, an EU member), Turkish passport holders need a visa. Apply at the Cyprus Embassy or consulate. Turkish nationals can cross between Northern and Southern Cyprus at designated checkpoints (Ledra Palace, Ledra Street, and others in Nicosia) with a passport. At the checkpoint, Southern Cyprus authorities stamp a separate paper rather than your passport. Crossing is free and takes a few minutes.
Direct flights from Istanbul (IST or SAW) to Ercan run about 1 hour 30 minutes on Turkish Airlines, Pegasus Airlines, and multiple other carriers. Several daily departures from Istanbul, Ankara, Antalya, and Izmir serve Ercan year-round. Northern Cyprus uses the Turkish lira (TRY). In Southern Cyprus, the euro is the currency, trading at roughly 38 TRY per EUR 1. Card payments work on both sides. Larnaca and Paphos in the south have their own airports (LCA, PFO) but Turkish carriers do not fly there directly. The Nicosia checkpoint crossing is the practical way to reach Southern Cyprus from Ercan.
