From Ercan Pyla/ Beyermalude( not sur if that is how you spell it) would be the easiest crossing. Get on A3 towards Paralimni and follow signs for Protaras.

Thanks Kezspot....



Would there be taxi's at the boarder to take me to Protaras or is it best to arrange something in advance? I will be arriving at noon.



Also any idea what the cost for these journeys are?



Regards

dear All



I will arrive in Ercan Airport from Ankara and i need to go to Paphos

any suggestions how to cross the border: better to take a taxi at the airport to the local bus station and continue by bus or to book a private transfer?

Hi littlenerry,



I have some friends who have done this journey. They took a taxi to the bus station in the south of Nicosia where they caught a bus to Larnaca and then transferred to a coach for Paphos. I don't think there is a coach direct to Paphos from Nicosia.
