Noticed in my diary that it is a public holiday in Republic of Cyprus tomorrow, 28th October (Greek National Day) and just had an email saying it is a holiday in TRNC on Wednesday, 29th October (Turkish Republic Day). So anyone thinking of going South should probably avoid both days and be aware that the banks/public offices will probably be shut here on Wednesday.

Thanks for the heads up. Had planned on going tomorrow but will cancel.

Would the Turkish side pedestrian border crossing at Ledra Street be open on Wednesday, seeing as it's a Turkish public holiday?

The crossing points will be open but normally on Turkish public holidays Metehan is very busy so best avoid driving that way unless you go very early.
