Emma,

You really won't have a problem by just getting a cab at the airport,thats what we do,the taxis are the large mercedes cars and small minibuses,and it will cost you about £25cypriot pounds.

Airport to Protaros

Hi, just wondering if anyone can help. A friend of mine is going to protaros in a couple of weeks, staying at Alva hotel apartments, booked through airtours. In the airtours brochure it says the transfer is approx. 1 hour, in the thomsons brochure it says 1 and 1/2 - 2 hours. They're hoping airtours are right. Also does anyone have up to date information on these apartments. Thankyou.

Sorry - don't know about the apts...

Thanks pubdog.
I think they will be on a bus for the transfer, as part of there package from airtours.

You will be right - they will be on the bus, which will probably take a bit longer...and then they have the drop-offs - but I still can't see it being close to two hours. If it were, I would get a cab or hire a car for one day from the airport and drop off in Protaras - its a very straightforward run.

airport run

The difference between the time given by holiday companies is just the numbers of drop offs they anticipate. Some companies use more accommodation in the resort than others, and so have to leave more time for guests to be taken into reception etc. We went to Protaras last August and the run took us 75 minutes.

Hi gill_mag. hope this reply is not too late. We've been to the Alva appartments for the last 2 year and will be returning there in Sept. As far as I can remember the transfer takes just over one hour, the Alva tends to be one of the last drop-off points, I think this is due to the partial one-way system. The appartment are clean and the staff are very friendly I don't think your friends will be dissapointed. The location is also very good, shops and restraunts on the doorstep so to speak and Fig Tree Bay is just a 5 minute stroll away. Hope this helps.

Larnaca to Protarus

Hi,
We have never been to Protarus before, but will be going on Sunday. We have opted for the included transfer, as the taxi which the TO organise was £120 sterling return. In the brochure it says, transfer upto 1 and a half hours. We will be staying at the Constantinos the great. Does anyone who has taken the transfer, know how long the bus does take and how long would the taxi take? I have just read the link for Grab that Cab, so I know what price to expect.
Thanks

I always use grabthatcab to be honest.

Of course it depends how many of you are going as to how cheap it works out compared to the coach.

If there are four of you the return journey by taxi costs you £4 each less and saves you about an hours travelling each way.

I go on my own but would only go by taxi rather than that stuffy coach with annoying rep.
