What's waiting for you
Ercan is North Cyprus's own airport, so a transfer to Kyrenia never touches the Green Line. That removes the single biggest variable from the journey: no checkpoint, no passport stop, no queue to plan around. Forty to fifty minutes, and you are at the harbour.
The trade-off is on the flying, not the driving. Flights to Ercan route through Turkey; Larnaca is served directly from most of Europe. Which airport is right for you depends on where you are flying from — we wrote a guide comparing the two.
Whichever you choose, the vehicle and the welcome are the same: a name board at arrivals and one VIP Vito to your door.
Where we drop you

Worth your afternoon
Kyrenia Castle
A Byzantine and Venetian fortress guarding the harbour, with the Shipwreck Museum and its 2,300-year-old trading vessel inside.
The old harbour
A horseshoe of stone warehouses turned into restaurants. The reason most people fall for Kyrenia in the first hour.
Bellapais Abbey
A Gothic abbey in the hills above town, best at golden hour. Lawrence Durrell wrote Bitter Lemons in the village below it.
St Hilarion Castle
A crag-top castle on the Beşparmak ridge, with the whole coast — and on clear days, Turkey — laid out beneath you.
