✈️ Traveling to Nicosia: Transportation Guide for EU IFI 2026 Conference Participants
Welcome to Cyprus! To ensure your arrival at the EU IFI Conference in Nicosia is as smooth as possible, we have compiled a guide on how to reach the capital from the island’s two main airports.
📍 Arrival Points
Cyprus is served by two airports:
- Larnaca International Airport (LCA): Closest to Nicosia (~50 km).
- Paphos International Airport (PFO): Further from Nicosia (~145 km).
🚍 Option 1: Kapnos Airport Shuttle (Recommended)
The most cost-effective and reliable way to reach Nicosia is via the Kapnos Airport Shuttle. The shuttle drops you at the Nicosia Shuttle Terminal (Kyrenias Avenue), which is a short taxi ride from most central hotels.
