Nicosia - Post Report Question and Answers
What is your home city/country? How long is the trip to post from there, with what connections? How easy/difficult is it to travel to this city/country?
We usually go back to Utah for visits, and it's almost as long of an itinerary as when we traveled from Africa. About 22 hours is the best we can do and that's with two instead of three connections. Getting to the east coast is a bit easier/quicker. - Jan 2025
Washington, DC / USA. It works out to being a long day in either direction. There are no direct flights. Athens is a 1 hour hop and is well connected. Other frequently used transfer points include Austrian airlines (Vienna), Lufthansa (Munich, Frankfurt), British Airlines (London). Nicosia is served by Larnaca airport (LCA), a 45 minutes from from Nicosia. There is an airport just to the North of Nicosia in the Turkish-occupied area with flights to Turkey, but this airport cannot be used by Americans on official travel. In principle, there is also an international airport in Paphos, which is a 2-plus hour drive from Nicosia, but Nicosia airport is better for the US-Cyprus route. The Paphos airport has useful connections for some destinations such as the Greek Islands. - Aug 2022
It's fairly easy to travel back to the States. You will need to do one layover in a major European city (Frankfurt, Paris, London, Munich, Vienna, etc). With about a 4-hour flight to western Europe, you're looking at a 12+ hour travel day. - Aug 2022
Home is DC. The trip is via major European cities, and it takes longer than you expect--from London, about six hours. Don't transit through Paris--CDG's old wing, late, etc. - Jul 2013
