This will be a quick post which I hope will be useful. Entering Northern Cyprus is not a very easy task, and there are not that many options. The only airport in the Northern part is Ercan airport, which is not recognized internationally and is only recognized by Turkey, which means all the flights to and from Northern Cyprus have to stop in one of Turkey's international airports.
There is ferry and sea buss services, again from Turkey to the ports in Cyprus between Mersin-Taşucu and Kyrenia and Famagusta. The only other way would be having the visa for the southern part and entering the country from on of the availbale airports or harbors in the south and then crossing the borders to enter the northern part.
Citizens of most countries, other than Armenia, Nigeria and Pakistan can get their visas upon entering the country. The three mentioned country need to visit one of TRNC offices and get a visa in advance. The procedure is fairly simple, once you tell the immigration officer the reason why you want to enter the country and justifying the number of days you want to stay they will stamp your passport and indicate the days that you are allowed to stay, which is maximum 90 days. For a longer duration, the immigration office in the city of residence should approve.
A final tip, the airport and other entrance points to the country, offer the option of stamping a separate paper and attaching it to your passport temporarily rather than stamping the passport itself, which is useful for people who are planning on getting the southern parts' visa in a near future. Most passports holding the stamp of the Northern side are not eligible to apply for a visa of the southern part of the island.
