Airports of Cyprus

Ercan International Airport

There are frequent scheduled and charter flights out of England and other European countries to North Cyprus. More than 90 flights per week arrive at North Cyprus airport Ercan during the summer. There are 20 flights from three airports of London: Heathrow, Gatwick and Stansted. Most of them arrive in the evening. North Cyprus has direct air links only with Turkey, where all planes from Europe must first touch down. From Turkey, you can choose from a number of scheduled flights from Istanbul, Izmir, Ankara, Adana and Antalya.

Passport & Visa Requirements

The citizens of European Union (EU), Azerbaijan, Turkey, USA, Canada, Mexico, Iceland, Japan, Russia, Switzerland, Norway, Israel, Azerbaijan, Australia and New Zealand do not require visa. 

All other nationals should check their position with regard to passports and visas with the nearest Embassy or Office of Representative of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. 

Visitors who do not wish to have their passports stamped by the authorities on arrival in North Cyprus may request a stamped visa form which is loosely inserted into the passport and removed on departure.

Larnaca International Airport

It is also possible to arrive at Northern Cyprus via Larnaca International Airport. However, this would require some amount of travel (about one hour) to get to the crossing point to the Northern part of the island where there is further passport control at the check point. However, sometimes cheaper flights can be found flying to Larnaca Airport. We do provide complimentary airport transportation to and from both airports.
