Can anyone advise how much the bus transfers cost and where they drop off in Kyrenia ?

Thanks all

Stay at Pia Bella and your airport taxi is free.

Not aware of a bus service, but a taxi will cost about £25 each way.

The airport bus stop is next to the Colony Hotel. I did have a timetable and fare cost. It is really cheap and there are a few every day. If you get into Kyrenia, then Apple Tours (adjacent the bus stop) will give you all the details.

The main problem is getting to where the bus is! Ideal if you are in and around Kyrenia, but more difficult for others west.

But an excellent service, and 'nothing' compared to taxi fares. I find £25 is just too much money for locals. If you are on holiday then the expense is justifiable, but otherwise, find a friendlysoul who will run you for the cost of the petrol.

If you can't find your answer as in message 3, then I will look it up. But you can google it, I am sure.

As far as I know, it is the same all year round, but don't forget this is Cyprus, and if plane times are drastically changed, so might the buses. But there are ways of finding out, such as ringing Apple Tours (if you can't get into Kyrenia) for they have rthe timetable in their window.

Good standard of coach, 10TL oneway however, the timetable is not coordinated nor synchronized with out/in bound flights especially the early morning departures or the late evening arrivals.

Yes that is what we noticed, they certainly do not work with any of our flight times in the summer.

Msg 8

Strange from a marketing point of view that they don't have a separate phone line to monitor peoples requirements/requests for connecting flights and then if found to be worthwhile by number uptake put on extra coordinated coaches. It must be considerably cheaper to park a car for a considerable length of time at Girne car park than Ercan which would counter balance coach & petrol costs. Once again in TRNC, good ideas but not thought through properly and badly executed!
