Getting There

By air: Greek Nicosia has no operative airport today. The old one was partially destroyed in Civil War 1974.

Turkish Levkosa is served by the small Ercan Airport, where only planes from and to Turkey arrive and depart.

By land: The only highway on Cyprus joins Nicosia with Limassol, about 50 miles south-westwards. The KEMEK bus company runs an hourly bus service between Nicosia and Limassol (Tel: 02 – 463989 or 05 – 363241). Nicosia Terminal is on Dionysus Solomos Square. Troodos is connected with Nicosia by two daily buses: KEMEK and Solea bus. Another Solea bus runs several times a day between Nicosia and Kakopetria. There are also buses between Nicosia and Agia Napa, for further information, ask CTO (see Practical Things).
