Northern Cyprus passport stamp

Can anyone tell me if once your passport has been stamped at the airport in Northern Cyprus you cannot travel to Greece?

Hi we have been visiting Southern Cyprus for the past 9 years, 2 years ago we went to Turkey, I was really worried incase they would not let us into Cyprus with a Turkish stamp on our passport, we had no problem. Also I don't know if you know but the border between Northern and Southern has now opened. So I can't see any problem.

Hi Tamla,

I have checked with my Greek Friends who work in travel and they have said that you will not have a problem getting into Greece.

Although my advice would be to check with the Greek Embassy in London.

HTH

Thankyou for your help, I last visited N.Cyprus last year and visited Famagusta for a day, I did notice a few Greek people on the beach who must have come across the border, but I wonder if things have become more relaxed since the elections earlier this year & that the passport stamp is no longer needed for travel anywhere. I shall contact the Greek Embassy though to make extra sure.
