Wheelchair accessible as long as you can get up the bus steps - I selected this trip as it said it was wheelchair accessible. However the bus does not have a ramp or lift & so I had to get up the steps on my bottom & haul myself up into the seat, but they did reserve the front seat for me to save me the indignity of shuffling down the bus on my bottom & the driver lifted my folding scooter in & out of the luggage hold of the bus. The first stop was at a craft center where you could watch the craftspeople at work & buy from their shop. There was also a cafe and more importantly for me, a proper disabled toilet. We then went on to Nicosia. The bus took us round the Greek Cypriot side, where the guide told us about significant buildings and what had happened when Turkish forces took over half of the city in 1974. We then stopped in a car park and followed the guide into the center, past some cute gift shops & tavernas, towards the crossing point into the Turkish side, where she waited to answer all questions & then left us to do what we wanted for the next 3 hours before meeting back at the bus. We chose to cross into the Turkish side, which was full of shops selling fake goods that we were advised were not allowed to bring back into the EU due to copyright laws, but there were also some hand made things that we could bring back & the Turkish part was quaint & worth a visit. We then went back to the quaint alleyways in the Greek side that we had walked through & had a nice lunch in a quaint taverna. We had a little difficulty finding the car park again but everyone we spoke to could speak English & guided us back easily to where we needed to be.
