Transportation

Flying to Cyprus

There are two airports in Cyprus: Larnaca International Airport and Paphos International Airport. Larnaca's airport will be the most convenient for you since it is closer to Nicosia.

We strongly advise you to book your flights as early as possible in order to find cheap deals. Cyprus is a popular holiday destination and so tickets can be very expensive if you don't book them well in advance (and by well in advance we mean at least 5 months before the wedding).


Getting around Cyprus


Larnaca Airport to Nicosia


Kapnos airport shuttle

Larnaca is approximately 40 minutes away from Nicosia. The shuttle bus will cost about 7 euros (one way). However the bus will drop you off at a specific point in Nicosia. From there you will have to take a taxi to go to your hotel (see below for taxi services within the city). Check for details and the timetable here

It will be better if you book a seat on the bus. You can reserve a seat at 00-357-24008718. We can do it for you if you provide us with your flight details well in advance.

Taxi services from Airport

Taxi services are available on a 24-hour basis at Larnaca International Airport, located on the right as you exit the terminal building. A transfer from Larnaca Airport to Nicosia will cost you approximately 50 euros.

Also you can book a taxi through the website of Intercity taxi services "Travel & Express"


Transportation within Nicosia

Unfortunately, public transport in Cyprus is limited. You will have to call a taxi in order to go somewhere (e.g. from the shuttle bus drop off to your hotel). Of course a taxi can be arranged for you by your hotel. Please note that in Cyprus you cannot normally stop and take a taxi while it is driving past you in the street.

Here are the contact details of some taxi offices in Nicosia:

  • VIP: (00357)-22318318
  • Columbia Taxi Office: 22780444
  • Finlandia Taxi Office Ltd: 22666000
  • Pallas Taxi office: 22518518
  • Zita Taxi: 22813813

The hotel that we are proposing is very central, located in the old part of the town. If you arrive early on Friday, you may like to take a short walk from your hotel around the city centre, perhaps also visit the 'green line'.


Transportation arranged by us

We are planning to have a bus service for the following routes:

  • Holiday Inn Hotel in Nicosia - our houses before the ceremony (preparation rituals) - the church (30/6)
  • Hotel in Nicosia - Hotel in Protaras (30/6 after the wedding reception around midnight)
  • Hotel in Protaras - Grecian Park hotel (Party venue)– Hotel in Protaras (1/7 evening)

We will provide specific details closer to the wedding. If you would like a seat on the bus (for any route) please state so on the RSVP form.


Transportation around the island

Since public transport in Cyprus is not convenient, we advice you either to rent a car or use taxi services.

Car Hire

Car hire is the most popular way of getting around the island. Cypriots drive, as in the UK, on the left (!)

Option 1:

Car hire is available at the airport. The car hire companies that you can find at the arrival area of the airport are:

However, we strongly advise you to book online prior to your arrival to the island. You can either do it through the website of each company or through the website of your airline company (e.g. Easyjet).

Option 2:

Since we are going to provide a bus service between Nicosia (where the ceremony is going to be held) and Protaras (where the party is going to be held) you can choose to rent a car at Protaras and not when you arrive in Cyprus. You will definitely need a car to access the beautiful remote beaches in Protaras area. Also, you will have to rent a car if you are joining us for the island trip (4x4 car is required for several areas e.g. Akamas National Park).

You can book a car from any big Car hire company (e.g. europcar, sixt, hertz), pick it up from any town in Cyprus and return it at Larnaca's airport.

From any town back to the airport

We would like to have all of you at our island trip after the wedding. However we understand that some of you will not be able to stay for the whole week. Depending on where you will be on the date of your departure, you will have to take the appropriate transport (booking necessary). You can always ask your hotel to arrange your transportation for you. Some proposals are:

For those who are planning to rent a car, you can arrange to return the car at the airport.
