Cyprus runs two international airports: Larnaca International Airport (LCA) on the south coast, the island's main hub, and Paphos International Airport (PFO) in the west, which takes a lot of charter and low-cost traffic for the resort areas. Between them they move over 10 million passengers a year, so flying is how almost everyone arrives. With the hot summers and the run of late-night and dawn charter departures, Cyprus airport hotels are an easy call, and hotels near Larnaca Airport in particular suit anyone facing an awkward flight time. Cyprus Airways and a long list of European carriers fly the routes.
Larnaca is the natural gateway to Nicosia, Ayia Napa and Limassol, while Paphos covers Coral Bay and the Troodos mountains. Cyprus is an EU member but not in Schengen, so EU citizens need only a valid ID or passport.
