Larnaca Travel Forum

We're a party of 4 looking to fly into Larnaca and then transfer up to northern Cyprus Famagusta via taxi. Is this possible? (in terms of any border control), how long is the transfer? What would be the approximate cost?
THANKS FOR ANY ADVICE!

Hi Paul.

Why wanna visit Famagusta and may get your self into trouble? You may have problems with the taxi driver. What you can do, if you still want to go to Famagusta, you can do that by getting a car for your self but you will probably need to show your passport. I think when you get to the border you will have to show your passport and pay nothing.

There are many lovely places to visit in Cyprus such as santa napa, paphos and Limassol. There are lovely beaches in these places and friendly people.

Enjoy your trip

Thanks for your information Evi - it is very useful! Maybe we'll stay in the South!!

While it is true that some of our taxi drivers here refuse to drive into the North and that some may grab the opportunity to "explain" how bad creatures Turks are, I think that you shouldn't be discouraged to visit the North. Many people do. Once you arrive at Larnaka Airport and you reach the taxi stand, simply tell them that you need to go North. That's all.
Famagusta is a lovely place and largely unspoiled. Unfortunately for us in the South places like Ayia Napa, Protaras or Limassol no longer have that. Pafos is still an option (the Akamas peninsula especially and area like Pomos) and the Troodos mountains are nice too. But the North is in general much more unspoiled than the South. Not for long I am afraid but still...

P.S. Border control is a joke. You just fill in a small form with your name, passport number and nationality and you hand it over to them. They stamp the form, not the passport.

Thanks coscon2004, much appreciated!
