No, you cannot, it’s protected by the UN and off-limits to all.

The UNPA [United Nations Protected Area] included the whole of the airport complex, including the premises of RAF Nicosia and the UN camps.

Neither side was to approach within 500 metres of this perimeter. When ceasefire lines were drawn on 16 August 1974, the area declared as a United Nations Protected Area (UNPA) was included within the buffer zone.

In keeping with UNFICYP’s mandate to maintain the status quo, the airport has remained a United Nations Protected Area since 1974.

UNFICYP regulates access, but tourism of any kind is not on the agenda:

Contact UNFICYP’s Civil Affairs Section for any inquiries on Farming, Construction and Access in the buffer zone, as well as on Bi-Communal, Humanitarian and Religious issues. Any request which does not fall under the above categories will not be responded to.
