Travelling to Cyprus? Here's some useful information to help you plan your holiday

How to get Cyprus

The most direct route is by air from airports in the UK to Larnaca airport in Cyprus. British Airways and Cyprus Airways both provide direct flights throughout the year and a number of other carriers operate charter flights from April to October including Thomson, Thomas Cook and EasyJet. Monarch also fly from both London Luton and Manchester to Larnaca. Easy Jet also now flies from London Gatwick to Larnaca. Check out their cheap flights!

How to get around

"What a lovely place and how safe for our baby to roam around with the safety of the pool fence up. Thank you."
- Mrs Reyner

On arrival we offer a meet and greet service. Our representative will meet you at the villa. We provide clear photographic directions to help you get from the airport to the villa quickly and easily. It is a very easy route and takes less than 15 minutes.

There is plenty to keep you occupied in the immediate vicinity of the villa that is easily walkable, including shops, restaurants and the all important beach. However, if you want to get out and about and explore the island, or if you have small children, then we recommend hiring a car. There are a number of companies at the airport and bookings can be made in advance or on arrival. We usually use Petsas and have never had any problems. Alternatively, simply speak to our representative when you arrive and she will be able to point you in the right direction. In peak season we would strongly advise booking in advance.

In Cyprus they drive on the left hand side of the road just like in the UK , so it's very easy to get in the car and drive.

You will find a number of maps in the villa for your use during your stay. We simply request that you leave them where you found them for future guests to use.
