Thousands of our compatriots in the planning of vacation among the most seductive options are considering Cyprus. Not the largest island in the Mediterranean attracts with its moderation - there are not too noisy resorts, and places for "annealing," not intrusive aborigines, who show nevertheless quite sincere friendliness to the guests.
The capital of the Republic of Cyprus, Nicosia, is simultaneously the capital of Turkish North Cyprus - and from both cultures it has absorbed the best $ ±$..Moreover, there was plenty of time for this: the first mention of the settlements in Mesaoria is dated to the 7th century BC .Imagine the heritage of two civilizations in one city, famous for its museums, which have repeatedly received titles of the best in Europe .And the cuisine in Nicosia is able to surprise even the most sophisticated gourmet - it combines the features of the Turkish, Greek and Balkan cooking schools!
If we talk about transport, then we will get to Cyprus in a reasonable time and for reasonable money only on the plane .To begin with, of course, it is necessary to determine the place of arrival: in the case of Nicosia, several flights from the Russian Aeroflot and Cyprus Airways .They take off from Sheremetyevo, and on the way to spend about three and a half hours .Transit flights through other cities do not make sense: almost all airports in Cyprus are followed by direct flights from Russia, and their cost is invariably lower than the price of any transit .There are enough air tickets to Cyprus for sale, so the flight can be chosen without looking at their availability..
If the path lies in the city of Paphos, here the company Transaero will come to the rescue. And although the journey will have to spend about four hours - but it will be a completely modern "Boeing"! But the Erkan airport will not get to the direct flight - the fastest route there includes almost three-hour transplantation in Istanbul, because of which the journey time increases to seven-odd hours. Therefore, it is necessary to think in advance - maybe it will be less troublesome to get there from Nicosia by land transport? Be careful, and have a good trip!
