Airport in Limassol, Cyprus

Molos Limassol Cyprus

Despite the fact that Limassol is Cyprus’ largest coastal city, it lacks its own airport and the nearest, Paphos Airport, is located 61km from its centre.

Glafcos Clerides in Larnaca, the main international airport, is 66 km from central Limassol and the journey will take approximately 40-45 minutes.

Larnaca Airport

(IATA code – LCA) is the main airport of Cyprus, receiving the majority of international traffic. With the subsequent bankruptcy of the national airline of Cyprus, Cyprus Airways, it is now the heart of the Greek Aegean Airlines.

Larnaca has two terminals. Maintenance of the main passenger flow enabled a new two-storey terminal with a developed modern infrastructure to be included. The airport provides travellers with everything necessary for a comfortable journey, from a large long and short-term parking area, to duty-free shops.

The old terminal building now runs services for private aviation, foreign heads of state and official delegations.
