Cyprus

Visitors arriving in Cyprus by air may enter the Republic of Cyprus only through the International Airports of Larnaca and Paphos. Paphos International Airport (PFO) is 15 kilometres from the town of Paphos. The country's second largest airport is commonly used by tourists on vacation in western Cyprus, providing access to popular resorts such as Coral Bay, Limassol and Paphos itself There are buses and taxis to the nearest large towns just outside the Arrivals halls.

Cyprus’s passport and visa requirements vary for different nationalities. Citizens of the European Union (EU) countries (including Iceland, Norway, Switzerland, and Liechtenstein) need a passport or a valid ID. The rest of the citizens of other countries will need a passport. Many countries, including the United States, Canada, United Arab Emirates, Australia, and Japan, benefit from visa-free entry for tourism short stays of up to 90 days maximum. Travellers requiring a short-stay visa (valid for up to 90 days), such as those from some Middle-Eastern, African, or Asian nations, the visa must be obtained prior to arrival. All visitors should ensure their passport is valid for at least six months beyond their intended stay. If you're not sure whether or not to apply for a visa, we recommend you contact the embassy or consulate in your country. For Northern Cyprus, nationals of most countries will need to obtain a visa for stays of under 90 days. Citizens of the European Union (EU) countries, United Kingdom and United States do not need visas for North Cyprus, for tourism entry and up to 90 days.

Cyprus enjoys a warm, Mediterranean climate that's characterized by the region's long, hot summers and mild, wet winters. The best time to visit Cyprus is in the summer for the most heat and sunshine. Although, if you prefer milder temperatures then spring is perfect and the sea water is still mild enough for swimming. If you come to Cyprus during this time of the year, especially from April to June, you can also enjoy a lot of events, mostly music events, with live show of all genders of music.

There are many different bus routes in Cyprus, connecting both the towns to the airports and the towns one another. As the island has developed around tourism, there is a thick network of buses also available from town to rural areas. Northern Cyprus features a transport system that is not as developed as the southern one. If you are planning on getting around from one town to another the best option is to rent a car.
