🚐 Pre-book an airport transfer →Getting Around
Rizokarpaso bus station (centre) → Teko's Karpasia Nature House (10-min walk from stop)
💡 Once you’re in Rizokarpaso, the local bus runs a loop past the village shops. Get off at the Ayios Synesios Church stop—the hotel is a short walk down the lane. Don’t rely on Google Maps; ask the driver to call out ‘Teko’s’.
Ercan International Airport (ECN) → Rizokarpaso Bus Terminal (walk 10 mins to hotel)
💡 Use 'Kıbrıs Türk Otobüs İşletmesi' buses from Ercan to Kyrenia, then change to local bus for Rizokarpaso. The second leg is infrequent (every 2-3 hours), so time your connection carefully. Buy tickets on board in Turkish Lira cash.
Larnaca International Airport (LCA) → Big Sand Beach Restaurant & Bungalows, Rizokarpaso
💡 Crossing the Green Line near Kato Pyrgos adds 30-40 minutes for passport checks. Book a driver who knows the route via Kyrenia/Karavas to avoid delays. Many taxis quote one-way, so confirm if return is included.
Larnaca International Airport (LCA) → Teko's Karpasia Nature House, Rizokarpaso
💡 The drive goes through the Green Line checkpoint near Pergamos. Tell your driver your passport is ready; the process adds about 15 minutes. Cash only for the northern side's leg.
Ercan International Airport (ECN) → Karpaz Woooden Houses, Dipkarpaz
💡 Book ahead through your hotel or local drivers; fares are fixed per vehicle. Ask for a stop at Kantara Castle viewpoint for photos—most will oblige without extra charge.
Larnaca International Airport (LCA) in Republic of Cyprus → Karpaz Woooden Houses, Dipkarpaz
💡 Cheaper than flying into Ercan if you're already in south Cyprus. Arrange a taxi from Larnaca to the Ledra Palace checkpoint (€60, 45 mins), walk across, then a northern taxi continues (€140, 2 hrs). No direct bus route exists.
Ercan International Airport (ECN) → Big Sand Beach Restaurant & Bungalows
💡 Cheaper than private taxis but less flexible. Check 'Girne Airport Transfer' on Facebook – they often drop at the main road junction, not the hotel gate. Have the hotel manager's phone number ready for directions.
Larnaca Airport bus stop (outside arrivals) → Rizokarpaso bus station (near hotel)
💡 Take the airport bus (€8) to Nicosia’s Eleftheria Square, walk 300m to Kyrenia Gate for the KIBRIS minibus (€17). No need to book the minibus—just wave it down. Bring small change for the driver.
Kyrenia (Girne) city centre → Rizokarpaso village centre
💡 Use the Dolmuş cooperative at Kyrenia bus station. No fixed timetable—they leave when full. Cash only, exact change helps.
İskele (Trikomo) town centre → Rizokarpaso village centre
💡 Dolmuşes have no Google Maps tracking. Flag them down anywhere on the main road. They’re bumpy but reliable—sit near the door for quick stops.
Famagusta Bus Station → Rizokarpaso Village Centre
💡 This is the cheapest option but the bus is cramped and can be late. Carry small change—the driver won't break big notes. Best for early birds; afternoon buses often skip the last connection.
Dipkarpaz village square → Karpaz Woooden Houses (beach turn-off)
💡 Flag it down from the main road—drivers know the hotel. Pay exact change; they don't carry much. Useful if you're coming from the Apostolos Andreas monastery side.
