Getting to North Cyprus As Northern Cyprus remains unrecognized by
most of the international community, there are no direct flights from Europe. However, this is not really a problem as the charter companies briefly touch down in Turkey before proceeding to Ercan, the airport located a
few miles to the east of Nicosia. In addition, there are regular flights by Cyprus Turkish Airlines and Turkish Airlines between Ercan and all the major airports in Turkey, which are linked by the international carriers
to most destinations in Europe.There are flights to Northern Cyprus from Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted and Manchester. Since April 2004, it has become possible to fly to Larnaca in the South of Cyprus and travel
through the border into Northern Cyprus. British Airways fly directly to Larnaca from Heathrow every day of the week and Monarch fly from Luton. When speaking to the car hire company ask them to collect you directly
from Larnaca Airport. They will arrange taxi collection from Larnaca take you through the border and either take you to the hire car office or take you to the villa and deliver your hire car(s) to the villa. Total
journey time from Larnaca to the villa is about 2 hours. Commercial Airlines Contact details for the two commercial airlines which fly to Northern Cyprus are shown below:
