Arriving in Cyprus

Arriving in Cyprus by Keith Barrett

With the increasing popularity of the island of Cyprus as a holiday resort, many more visitors are now finding out about the delights on offer here. Larnaca Airport is the point of entry for most tourists visiting this Mediterranean paradise.

The three largest resorts on the south side of the island are centred around Paphos, Larnaca and Ayia Napa. Paphos, on the western end of Cyprus, has its own dedicated airport. Visitors to the other two resorts, however, will often tend to arrive at Larnaca International Airport.

The airport has a single terminal and some very good transport links. Located just off the motorway, visitors will often make use of a hire car, taxi or coach in order to reach their chosen accommodation.

A taxi trip from the airport to the city centre and many of the most popular hotels takes between 15 and 20 minutes, meaning that this is a good option for those not wishing to hire a car for the duration of their stay.

Overall, the facilities at the airport are pretty good. Larnaca Airport, in common with many airports around the globe, is not a place where you would wish to be delayed for too many hours, but it does have some good basic facilities that are handy just in case you do have a slight delay.

The airport terminal building is air conditioned and there is a restaurant in the Departures Lounge, allowing you to get a bite to eat and a drink before boarding your flight.

You'll also find the usual selection of airport shops, meaning that you can stock up on refreshments for the flight ahead, or do any last minute present buying for friends and family back home.

So, if you're planning a visit to Cyprus in the near future, you can be sure to find a good level of services and facilities available at Larnaca International Airport.
