Sveltos Hotel, Larnaca

Advantages: you won't get lost
Disadvantages: too few seats!!

...I have used Larnaca airport a number of times, as at one time due to my husbands job we were living in Cyprus. I can best describe Larnaca airport as a warehouse with a few slight upgrades. If you arrive early for your check in you will be hard pressed to find a seat to rest your tired bones, but you will find quite a nice little shop where you can stock up on a few sweeties for the flight, but be warned the shop is only big enough for about 3 people so don't take your whole family in to choose goodies. You will also see a few security men standing around looking important, my most scarey exerpiance in Larnaca airport was when the sercurity men were standing around being busy looking powerful and I was sat (yes sat I was one of the fastest to the seats)watching a man empty his suitcase of certain items of clothing all bunched up...

Advantages: SMALL ECONOMICAL AIRPORT HANDLING THOUSENDS OF PASSENGERS
Disadvantages: LONG WAY FROM THE TOURIST CENTERS OF THE ISLAND

...It is sad to read such negative reports on larnaca airport ,as i have used the airport on many occassions and have found the airport busy but efficient.

One has to remember that this was never intended as the international airport ,which was Nicosia before the 1974 invasion of cyprus when the airport came under fire from the invading Turks. today this airport at nicosia is in the hands of the united nations and one day hope it will once again become the main international airport .Larnaca international was built rather rapidly and has done well for the tourism in cyprus despite warts and all. but anyway all around the world airports have their problems and so larnaca on a very busy day with its one baggage collection...

Advantages: fantastic staff, lovely hotel
Disadvantages: ants in the bathroom

...Cyprus was'nt my 1st choice for a hoiday this year, but Ruth my partners sister telephoned us in August 2004 to say she was getting married abroad in July 2005, and would we like to attend. Of course we said yes and so the task of booking in to the same hotel on the same board status began. Cols sister was traveling with Thomas Cook, so I called them ''no room'' they said '' Oh no'' I said. So on to my trusted PC, entered the name of the hotel in too a search engine and walla - a few moments later we was booked all inclusive in to the Anastasia Beach Hotel. After negotiating Larnaca airport, we located our taxis for the transfer and off we went through barren countryside along a stretch of road that was apparently a Motorway, two lanes and a speed restriction of 100km an hour. We turned off the motorway and past some appartments which... Read review
