Nicosia War Cemetery and Wayne’s Keep Military Cemetery are situated within the UN Buffer Zone

some four kilometres west of the city of Nicosia. Access to both the war and military cemeteries is
possible from either side of the island. Visitors from the north will have to be in possession of a valid

EU passport.

Visitors require permission to enter the cemeteries and a United Nations escort is necessary. This will
normally be provided by a British soldier serving with the UN contingent, visits usually being restricted

to between 09.00 and 12.00 Mondays to Fridays. Visitors should be aware however, that for military
reasons it is not always possible to provide a guide and in such circumstances, access to the site will not

be possible. Visitors should therefore provide as much notice as possible.

All enquiries concerning visits should be made at the Defence Section at the British High Commission,

Nicosia, by one of the following methods:

E-mail: brithc.2@cytanet.com.cy , Telephone: 00 357 22 861 320/1

Post: Defence Section, British High Commission, Alexander Pallis Street, PO Box 21987, Nicosia, Cyprus
or, from the UK only using: Defence Section. British High Commission, Nicosia, BFPO 567.

Please note that photographs are limited to discreet ones of headstones only owing to the sensitivities of

the area.
