I'm going to Cyprus in less than a week and hoped that maybe you guys can answer a few questions I have:

- Is there anything I should know about driving in Cyprus? Any tips or suggestions?
- How is traffic overall and in cities like Nicosia and Larnaca? How's parking?
- Can you cross the border to the Northern side? If yes, which are the border crossings that are open?

I know that they drive on the left in Cyprus and that is possible to cross the border.

I just know that they drive really aggressive and dangerous there.
But nothing that you should be scared off.
You could say that they drive the same as the Estonians does.

Been there and seen it (Cyprus).

How long would a ferry from Greece take to Limassol, and what is the approx. price range (car + 1...4 pax)?

Longer than from Turkey.

I'm now back from Cyprus and although I don't have any photos (sorry!) since I sat on the back seat most of the time

, I do have some comments.

The quality of motorways is generally very good and although the speed limit is only 100km/h, most of the drivers drive around 120km/h. There are numerous speed camera warnings but I didn't manage to spot a single camera.
We also drove in the mountains. Generally the roads were very good, except in the mountain villages where the streets where really narrow and due to parking cars you often had to wait to let others pass. This brings me to parking overall. Let's say that it's creative

. People generally park wherever it's possible and seemingly nobody pays for parking.
The overall traffic culture is more aggressive than in Estonia but I wouldn't call it dangerous.

The large amount and the overall style of verbal warning signs reminds me of the UK. All signs are bilingual so it's easy for tourists.
