The crossing is at Bostanci just along the road from Guzylyurt. Scenic but not fast. I am told it is a long drive from paphos as you go through ther troodos, some say 4+ hrs. It is still an awful lot quicker to drive up through Nicosia.

there is a crossing at Zodhia (greek name). this crossing comes out at Bostanci on the turkish side (near Guzelyurt) it is then an easy drive towards nicosia and onwards.

you would have to be driving pretty slow for the journey to take 4 hrs. to get to the top of the Troodos takes about 45 mins from the crossing and then add another hour or so to get down to Pafos.

add another 45 mins to get from Kyrenia to Bostanci (if thats where you are going).



found a couple of maps of the north part of the journey to view at
