Directions from Larnaca Airport To Kyrenia

If you want to fly directly to Cyprus cutting out the stop over in Turkey you can do so by flying into Southern Cyprus.  This is done by flying to Larnaca Airport.  Larnaca airport is located in the south of Cyprus and from most European countries it involves a direct flight.  There are over 20 different airways that serve Larnaca airport.  If you are from the EU you won’t need a visa to visit northern or southern Cyprus.

If you have already booked your hire car we will arrange a taxi transfer for all out clients for £35.00 GBP to take you to your collection point.  Due to political reasons we are not able to provide car hire in the south of Cyprus.
