Cyprus

Visitors arriving in Cyprus by air may enter the Republic of Cyprus only through the International Airports of Larnaca and Paphos. The largest of the two, Larnaca International Airport – Glafcos Clerides (LCA), is five kilometres from Larnaca and 50 kilometres from the capital, Nicosia.

Taxis operate around the clock in all towns of Cyprus. Taxis can be booked by phone or be hailed on the street. Urban taxis are all provided with metres and charging commences upon entering the taxi. The transport of passengers by urban taxis without using the taximeter is not permitted. You can order a cab using Bolt, Cabcy, nTaxi, Hannk Taxi and iTaxi apps.

The opening hours of the post offices in Cyprus normally reflect the laid-back attitude of the entire island, being open 8:30am–1pm and 3pm–4:45pm except from May to August when the office closes at 1pm. Post offices are easy to spot thanks to the yellow sign that pops out of the wall. In the offices you will find stamps and postcards and you will be able to post letters. Mail boxes are also located throughout Cyprus and they are yellow and round-shaped. Stamps are also available in some kiosks.

Pharmacies are located all over the island, operating on a system that features an open pharmacy at night or weekends every day. Pharmacies have a green cross on the outside which makes them easy to find.
