Flights to Cyprus and the UK
Flights to Cyprus and the UK are easy to find, there are two airports on the island, both of which are well served by charter, scheduled and low-cost airlines from the UK; which means you have options when booking flights to Cyprus and the UK. The third largest of the Mediterranean islands, Cyprus is a popular holiday destination, with good weather year round, nearly 500 hundred miles of coastline of sandy beaches and rugged outcrops, olive and citrus groves, and a history that can be traced back over 10,000 years all combine to make the island a welcoming place for holidaymakers.
The site of the main international airport is Larnaca where the flights to Cyprus and the UK operate; it also has the second port and is a bustling working town and popular holiday resort. Public transport isn’t that great on the island so it can make sense and be cheaper if you plan to explore, to pick up a car rental. There are many options for bargain car hire in Cyprus, you can check out the local companies when you are here or arrange on-line to pick up on you arrival at the airport.
Larnaca airport is currently undergoing renovation and a new terminal building is under construction which will increase the capacity of passengers to 7.5 million passengers a year, phase 1 will open in 2009 and a year later phase 2 numbers will increase again to an impressive 9 million per annum. This will also extend the number of flights to Cyprus and the UK, hopefully driving down prices further. This is just part of the massive investment in the Larnaca area, work is also progressing along the Dhekelia Road area when the old petroleum refinery is being dismantled and will be replaced with a state of the art port and marina, which will be able to handle seven cruise ships at one time.
This area provides a great location for Cyprus property for sale; because of all the infrastructure investment and also the new golf course in Tersefanou it is has become a property hotspot. It is easy to reach all the major towns from Larnaca - Nicosia, Limassol and Paphos are all accessible via the modern and well maintained road system of two-lane highways and driving is on the left, which encourages bargain car hire in Cyprus to those who would normally be nervous of driving abroad. It is also a major point for buyers from the UK and Ireland looking for Cyprus property for sale to relocate permanently, the feeling of familiarity makes moving easier.
At one time flights to Cyprus and the UK were prohibitively expensive, but over the past few years it has become cheaper and more affordable consolidating Cyprus as a holiday destination due its wonderful sunny Mediterranean climate and also a place to invest in Cyprus property for sale, for both investment, holiday homes and more recently - relocation. So come and pick up bargain car hire in Cyprus and check the island to see if you would like to do the same!
