Airports of Cyprus
There are two airports in Cyprus: in Larnaca and in Paphos. To get to Limassol from any of them will take not longer than an hour..
Transport
Travel around the island is easy and comfortable with intercity buses or rented car. You can use convenient public transport or a taxi.
In Cyprus, don’t forget to drive on the left!
Communications
Mobile communications cover almost the entire island, but the mobile internet is not so fast everywhere (mainly in cities). You can use roaming or buy a local SIM card at a telecom store, newsstand or mini-market. Cyprus is a member of the EU, and usually SIM cards from European Union operators work here as in home network (not in roaming).
The currency is EURO. The climate here is hot, but “liveable” – it is an island, So “can” be windy weather sometimes and thanks to the sea also humid. It’s a bit more chilly in the mountains, so a trip to historical mountain areas is highly recommended.
10 points what-to-do for those whom “the beach is not enough”
Wander through the narrow streets full of history: Nicosia, Akamas Peninsula,
ancient Kourion.
Compare the beaches of Cyprus: Ayia Napa or Protaras (white sand and bustling with fun), Paphos (rocky but picturesque), Limassol (volcanic and healthy), Latchi (romantic and serene).
Explore the excavations of the ancient city (Amathus in Limassol, 5 minutes drive from our hotel).
Get to the Troodos mountains (mountain villages with centuries-old history and craft workshops, Byzantine monasteries and the coolness of the mountain forest).
Go to a wine tasting with one of the local wineries
Play golf! There are golf courses in almost every part of the island.
Have a dinner at a Cypriot tavern. It can be combined with a trip to mountain villages (personally we prefer trips to Omodos, Lefkara and Platres).
Dance all night! Well, if you have “ants in your pants” – welcome to Ayia Napa, a resort where clubs and discos are noisy 24/7
Watch seahorses and turtles while diving.
Relax your body and soul! (the only mandatory point :))
