As Cyprus is an island, then there is no possibility to get here on the railway. This can be done only by air or by sea. With the help of the ferry communication, Cyprus is connected to some nearby countries, or rather with the Greek port of Pirae, then with Crete and Rhodes, with Egyptian Port Said, with Israeli Haifa, with Syrian Latakia and the Italian Chanque.
But the main sea gates in Cyprus is in the general port of Limassol, from where the main part of ferries and commercial ships is sent, as well as cruise liners. However, it is worth considering that the journey to Cyprus by sea is incredibly expensive pleasure, therefore it will be easier, and cheaper will also buy a ticket and go straight to the island.
Unfortunately, even in such an incredibly partner and youth city like Ayia Napa, there is no own airport. On the territory of the Republic of Cyprus there are two operating airports, which are located in the cities of Paphos and Larnaca. From Moscow and St. Petersburg there are several airlines at once.
But the aircraft directly from Aeroflot from Sheremetyevo and Pulkovo fly only once a week, but in general it depends on the season. Two Cypriot carriers are flying to the island - "Cyprus Airways" and "S7". In summer, airplanes fly daily and sometimes even several times a day. The time you spend in the air is about 4 hours, but from St. Petersburg it will be about half an hour more.
The cost of tickets in the high season can reach 20,000 rubles in both directions. However, if you buy tickets in advance, you will be able to significantly save. In the winter period, tickets for the aircraft will not have to spend more than 10,000 rubles. If you are not afraid of the cold, which is practically no in Cyprus, then you can safely go there in winter, because there will always be there anywhere.
From the airport in Ayia Napa you can get faster than a taxi. You can take it right there immediately on the spot after arrival, but if you don't laugh, you can book in advance in advance in a couple of minutes. From Larnaca, the distance to Ayia Napa is 46 kilometers and overcome it takes 40 minutes. If you fly to Paphos, then you will need 2 hours of time, because it will have to drive it then 135 kilometers.
In general, from Larnaca Taxi will cost you 60 euros, and from Paphos is already three times more, or rather 180 euros. In most, the taxi service on the island is represented by black or white Mercedes. Be sure to make a special meter in each machine, according to which you actually need to be calculated. Of course, a taxi is quite expensive way, but if you fly by the company or get acquainted with someone in the plane, you can share your expenses.
Of course, the most economical option is a simple busing bus, which runs from Larnaca airport daily. However, you will not be able to get straight to the resort of Ayia Napa, because you will have to make one transplant. To do this, you need to get out of the terminal building on the second floor on the bridge, and there you will see immediately the bus stop on which there are several shops. You need to sit on any blue bus and twenty minutes you will reach the center of Larnaca, and they will go out on the FinoDes embankment. Prices for city buses in Cyprus are standard and make up one and a half euros.
At the stop on the Finnikide embankment, you will need to wait for another bus, which will not directly bring you to Ayia NAPU. The schedule hangs at the stop, but you can see exactly the same on the official website of the bus company Cyprus. If you are lucky, then you will reproach immediately, and if you do not have time in time, you can wait and a decent amount of time. The road takes about about an hour, and for a ticket it will be necessary to pay 4 euros. The busing bus will take you to the center of Ayia Napa.
The most optimal way to get is shuttle. It is much faster than flight buses, but at the same time and significantly cheaper than if you order a taxi. In addition, you should understand that the transfer is mandatory for all tourists in relevant hotels. And the drivers are well acquainted with where all these hotels are located.
However, if you planned accommodation in a small hostel, then you will have to explain how to get there. Of course, the cost of a trip depends on what time you arrive, because it will cost much cheaper. Transfer can be booked in advance on the Internet. During the daytime, the cost of a trip to the resort of Ayia Napa on average is 15 euros per car.
