How do you get here?
Now, if you are tempted by a boat ride on the Mediterranean, you can reach Cyprus by plane from your country. You will land at Larnaca or Paphos aiport. The distance to Limassol is approximately 60 km from both landing places.

The Cypriot authorities have announced for the time being that tourists are expected on the island most safely from the beginning of May. Access will only be done with a vaccine or a negative test.
Cyprus is currently under quarantine. This means that residents can only go out of the house twice a day, based on an SMS, or with the form certifying that they have to go to work. In addition, from 23.00 everyone must be at home.
