Getting Cyprus
Arrival to Cyprus has becomes easier now. The Republic has airports at Larnaka and Pafos, with flights from most of Europe and the Middle East. North Cyprus has an international airport at Ercan, but only Turkish airlines fly there. More than 33 airlines, including Cyprus Airways, Eurocypria and Helios Airlines operate scheduled flights from and to Larnaka International Airport (5km from Larnaca town centre) and Pafos International Airport (15 km east of Pafors town). By sea, you can get to Greece (Athens mainly, but sometimes Rhodes, Patmos or Crete) and Israel from the Republic's port in Lemesos. If you want to go to the Greek islands, you'll probably have to change at Athens. There are ferries from North Cyprus to Turkey, but you cannot exit Cyprus this way unless you entered from Turkey. As the crossroads of the Eastern Mediterranean, Cyprus can also be a great component of a Middle East odyssey that combines a visit to the island with Israel, Egypt or nearby Greek islands such as Rhodes. Short cruises to these destinations are a popular option for many visitors to Cyprus.
