| There are regular flights from Heathrow
and Stansted to Ercan Airport in Northern Cyprus. These are semi-direct,
which means that they touch down in Turkey for 45 minutes, but you
do not have to get off or change planes. It is now also possible
to fly into the south and cross the border, to both Larnaca and
Paphos, with the transfer time being approximately 1.25 hours from
Larnaca. The border is fully open and a simple passport log is all
it takes. The process takes about 5 minutes. To
book flights, you can use Cyprus Turkish Airline direct in London
(tel. 0207 930 4851). Adult return fares are about £250
in mid season and children are about £180. You may find
it simpler to book through Jewels of the World (0870 116 2233),
or the usual websites of www.expedia.com,
www.flightbookers.co.uk
etc.
Collection from the airport can be arranged
at extra cost. The driver will meet you outside the arrivals hall
and will have a card with your name on it. He will take you directly
to The Amber House Villa. The drive to the villa takes about 25
minutes from Ercan or an hour and quarter from Larnaca. For the
return journey, transport can also be arranged.
