Paphos airport is about 1 hour 38 minutes away from Nicosia, however usually it is slightly cheaper to fly here.

Getting around Cyprus

It is worth mentioning that there isn't much public transport in Cyprus so the best option would be to rent a car. However, we understand that this isn't always an option so here are some taxi and bus details if needed:

Taxi

Downloading the Bolt app is the easiest way to get around, as uber doesn't work in Cyprus.
