Driving in Cyprus

It was very confusing to drive in Cyprus, because everything is written in English and either Greek or Turkish. However, it is not always written in both languages so one sign might be Greek, the next in English, and your map is in Greek. There are some names that are easy enough to figure out like Lemesos is also Limassol, but it’s enough to make you second quess yourself in the middle of a rotary where you are driving on the left hand side and counter clockwise. Then on the Turkish side the names were not even close our map said Girne and the road signs said Kyprenia, our map said Lefkosa and the road signs said Nicossia. I understand why the man at the rental car place told me a GPS was useless.
