Travel Information on Cyprus

Getting to the Greek sector
By Air
Until the Turkish invasion, Cyprus's international airport was at Nicosia, and this is where the major airlines still maintain their offices. For the Greek Cypriot sector, however, Larnaka has taken over Nicosia's former role.

The national airline, Cyprus Airways (in London, Telephone 020 8359 1333; in Cyprus, 21 Odos Alkaiou Street, Nicosia, Telephone 02 663054), operates direct flights from London (Heathrow, Gatwick and Stansted), Birmingham and Manchester. There is another airport at Paphos, which also serves these British cities. Rhino have a pickup location at Car Hire Paphos Airport. Since the liberalisation of air travel to Cyprus, the number of operators offering flights between central Europe and the Mediterranean islands has increased. Many Middle Eastern companies, for example, have obtained carrier licences.

By boat

There are car ferries from Greece (Rhodes, Piraeus, Crete), Egypt (port Said) and Israel (Haifa) to Lemesos (Limassol), Larnaka is the main port for boats arriving from the Near East.

Getting to the Turkish sector by air
Because of the international boycott, only Turkish Airlines, its Cypriot sister company Cyprus Turkish Airlines and Istanbul Airlines operate to northern Cyprus. Most flights make a stop in Istanbul or Izmir. Turkish Airlines and Istanbul Airlines operate charter flights. The main airport for northen Cyprus is at Ercan, 25km (16 miles) from Nicosia(Lefkosa),but some flights arrive at Gecitkale,  30km (19miles) northwest of Famagusta (Ammochostos/ Gazimagusa).

Car Hire

There are various Car Hire Cyprus locations on the Islands, inclusing Ayia Napa, Paphos, Larnaca. There is a hotel drop-off service on the tomb of the Kings Road, on the out skirts of Paphos.

Ferries to northern Cyprus leave only from Turkey. Ferries leave Alanya and Silifke-Tasucu for Keryneia (Girne); the national ferry company TML links Mersin with Famagusta, Between May and October a hovercraft runs three times a week from Tasucu. The journey takes about 8 hours, usually overnight, and is offered at a 20 percent reduction to students.
Those who go directly to northern Cyprus cannot visit the southern part of the island on the same trip. The Republic of Cyprus regards direct entry into the occupied territory as an illegal act.

Getting Around
By bus and Taxi
Buses on scheduled services run only to the main towns. Visitors will none the less see plenty of buses, many of them dating from the post-war era and, lovingly painted in red and green, looking like museum pieces. These buses serve most villages but are timed to meet the needs of the locals, e.g. an early-moming run in to town and then back at lunch-time. As a rule, no buses run on Sunday.

Service taxis are unique to Cyprus. The passenger books the taxi by phone, is picked up from his home address and taken to his destination. The minibuses operate only between the main towns and some run on Sunday.

The doImus, the Turkish version of the service taxi, arrived in northern Cyprus via the latest wave of Anatolian immigrants. Dilmusular, or 'full up' they only leave when all seats are full and are mainly used on the Nicosia and Keryneia route.

By bus

There are regular bus services run by private operators (e.g. Costas, ALEPA and KEMEK) between the main towns. Good bus services also connect the main towns with Polis, Platres, Troodos village, Agia Napa and Kakopetria. The buses leave from either the towns' main bus stations or outside the offices of the individual operator concerned.

Minibuses are popular in the north. For visitors travelling from the south to the north (on a one-day pass from Nicosia's Ledra Palace Hotel checkpoint, the only way it is possible) a regular minibus service connects Nicosia with Keryneia and, less frequently, with Famagusta.
