Getting there

By air – Republic of Cyprus
South Cyprus has two main airports, Larnaka and Paphos. Both are International airports and are served by the national airline Cyprus Airways (tel: +357 22 365700; http://www.cyprusairways.com/). The two airports and Limassol Harbour are the only two recognised points of entry for international visitors.

If you travel to the North and you are not a citizen of the European Union, you may be refused entry to the South.

Larnaka Airport is only 5km (3 miles) from the city centre. There is no bus service directly to and from the airport, but taxis are plentiful and inexpensive to Larnaka. If you are travelling to another town, consider taking a bus from Larnaka, otherwise your fare will be high.

Paphos Airport is 10km (6 miles) from the city and buses run six times a day between the city and airport. Taxis to the centre of Paphos are inexpensive, but onward taxi fares rise sharply. As with Larnaka, you might take a taxi to Paphos and continue your journey by bus.
