Getting to North Cyprus..
We recommend flying into Larnaca International Airport.
A transfer is then required to take you across the border into Northern Cyprus, which is the Turkish side of the island. Don't worry - you do not need a visa for this, the taxi driver will simply show your passport at the crossing point.
Transfer cost is £80.00 each way and takes approximately 1hr 15 minutes, this cost is for up to four people sharing and is payable in cash (British pounds)
We will provide you with contact details for the taxi transfer - let James know via whatsapp when you are arriving for transfer details.
