Hi

I don’t have much experience of traveling and don’t know how well the locals speak English.



Can anyone please help me and tell me how to get from Larnaca Airport to Lefke by bus.

I would need to know things like:

--- Bus service times and journey times.

---Where to catch the bus from, from Larnaca airport?

---Which Border Crossing do I go to?

---Where to go for the Border Crossing point, once I get off the bus?

---What’s the name for “Border Crossing” in Greek and Turkish?

AL123;



your best bet is taxi from Larnaca to Zodia which is the nearest crossing to Lefke.



Then taxi to Lefke.



It will be very expensive.



And for gods sake don`t call it a border!



apparently some folk are a bit sensative to that word.

Once you get to TRNC, go to the bus terminal in Nicosia and catch the bus to Lefke. Or hire a bus all the way from Larnaca to Lefke

There is an airport shuttle bus from Larnaca to Nicosia, see http://www.kapnosairportshuttle.com/ the schedules are on their web site; best email to book.



Not sure where it drops you but you may need a short taxi journey to the crossing point. After that it is a bus to Lefke probably via Kyrenia

The Lefke bus from Nicosia Bus Terminal goes through Guzelyurt to Lefke.

Very sensible advise if Ali wants folk to be helpful... I would suggest asking for the the bus to Nicosia, THEN to Ledra Street, as if he asks how to get to the "north" or "border" folk might be rude... :{



Good luck, Ali.. you will not find a problem finding folk at Larnaca who speak English at the information kiosk.
