Larnaca International Airport (LCA) is the main airport, about 50km away. The Kapnos Airport Shuttle bus runs directly to Nicosia's central bus station (Solomos Square) every 1-2 hours, costing €9 one-way (journey time ~45 min). A taxi costs approximately €50-60.
Cómo moverse
The walled old city and historic center on both sides of the Green Line are extremely walkable. Most major sights are within a 20-30 minute walk of each other.
Consejos de la zona
- Always carry your passport (or a clear photocopy) when crossing the Green Line into the north. You will need to show it at the checkpoint.
- For the best halloumi, visit the municipal market (Laiki Agora) in the morning and look for the cheese stalls. Ask for 'saganaki' style—fried and served with lemon.
- When in the north, withdraw Turkish Lira (₺) from ATMs after crossing for the best rates. Euros are widely accepted but change is often given in Lira.
