[1] The island is divided between four sides; the unrecognised Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus to the north, the internationally recognised Republic of Cyprus to the south, the United Nations buffer zone separating the two, and the British overseas territories of Akrotiri and Dhekelia.

The Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus is only recognised by Turkey, therefore its embassy is in the capital North Nicosia.

[4] In June 1925, Consulate of Turkey to Cyprus (Turkish: Türkiye Şehbenderliği) opened in Larnaca.

Following the Turkish invasion of Cyprus, the embassy became very close to the UN Buffer Zone.

There are also consultancy offices for labor, social security, religious services, education, customs, treasury, finance and commercial activities.
