Cyprus is easily accessible. The two international airports of Cyprus, one in Larnaka and one in Pafos are served regularly by major airlines

The compact size of Cyprus is what makes the island such an attractive destination as it is so easy to get from one place to another.This means that the island’s world-famous beaches, its charming mountain villages and its 10.000 years cultural heritage are accessible no matter where you stay
