Cyprus Airports

Situated in the eastern Mediterranean, with its territory divided between the Greeks and the Turks, Cyprus is a Mediterranean gem boasting gorgeous beaches and lively resorts. The island is well known for its superb collection of ancient archaeological sites and numerous churches, monasteries and mosques. Along the south coast of Cyprus is where you will find top beach resorts and plenty of sunshine, while northern Cyprus is much more laid back and tranquil.

Escaping from the hectic pace of the beach resorts into the mountains to discover Cypriot village life is a great way of seeing the real Cyprus. Cyprus comes with international airports, including one at either end of the island. The capital has an international airport and flying to Nicosia is the only feasible way of reaching the island if you are coming from afar; ferry services are available from Turkish and Greek resorts but journey times are lengthy.

Larnaca International Airport is located in the southeast of the island near the popular resort of Larnaca and receives a lot of air traffic in the summer months, mainly from the UK, Scandinavia and Germany. Larnaca Airport has one terminal and is busiest from May to November. Intercity buses provide public transport to Larnaca and other towns and cities in Cyprus, while there are also taxis operating from outside the terminal.

Paphos International Airport is located in the west of the island and serves the nearby resorts of Limassol and Coral Bay. Paphos Airport is a small facility with minimal services, but it receives about 1.5-million passengers per year who mainly arrive on flights operated by charter airlines. Situated just east of the city, buses provide access to Paphos and other nearby resorts, while taxis will take you anywhere you want to go.
