NB: Many British people think that air travel to Cyprus is too expensive.

Flights to Spain, for example, canbe obtained for only a few pounds. BUT, they do forget that Cyprus is MUCH further from the UKthan Spain AND the winter climate is far warmer here, purely because of Cyprus' proximity to the Middle East.

Wouldn't you prefer to pay a little more for guaranteed sunshine?

There are 2 international airports in Cyprus on the South of the island - Paphos and Larnaca.

Of the Cyprus airports, Paphos airport, in the west, deals mainly with charter flights whereas Larnaca airport, in the east, has both charter and a wide variety of scheduled flights.

There are roughly 5 x more flights per year into Larnaca airport than Paphos.

Ercan airport, on the North of the island is only served by flights originating from Turkey. You can visit the Turkish controlled north of the island but if you want direct air travel to Cyprus (north), you will have to fly via Larnaca or fly there via Turkey.

There are, of course, other ways of getting to Cyprus, (ferries, for example, arrive at the port of Limassol from Greece, Israel and Egypt) though it takes far longer!
