It's all a bit last minute, but I'm trying to find flights to Ercan, in Turkish Cyprus. Has anyone got any advice? I've looked on the THY site, and even though they fly there, I can't find Ercan on the dropdown list
The Ercan airport site says to phone for details of airlines that fly in, and I don't want to do that if I can help it!
Are there any good package companies that I could try?
but they don't have flights out on the dates I want
depending on where you are staying it might mean a flight to Pafos or Larnaca and a taxi over
Cyprus Turkish Airlines are one of the major flight companies to northern Cyprus but they only take phone bookings - no online booking. Their flights go from Stansted on Sundays.
If you go on advised site as above and go for flight information there are flights from Stanstead Sun,Wed,Thur,Fri
Stanstead is hell to get to from our house, and would be a last resort. I'd rather find a holiday somewhere else
CTA have online booking, but again not the dates I want.
I didn't think you could cross the border Wizard?
Not to worry, we'll probably just end up taking anything the travel agent has
since Cyprus joined the EEC providing you hold an EEC passport you cannot be stopped. in the eyes of the EEC the whole of Cyprus joined although due to technical difficulties not empowered in the north.. some of the Main tour operators NOW offer northern Cyprus with flights via the south. [technically speaking timbol/ercan is closed to international flights and not covered by the acquits of international flights and is only classed as an internal flight from turky to be strictly legal any aircraft must touch down (not necessarily land) on turkish soil first.
remember when flying over to northern cyprus there are no direct flights, you will fly over to Turkey first and then onto Ercan airport .
Try Prisident Holidays for package deals to Northern Cyprus , but most travel agents do northern cyprus now.
If you require any other info or advice/help please do not hesitate to contact me .
Fly to Larnaca then get a taxi, it's easy.....and cheap. And it's better than stopping in Istanbul.

Yes but you are forgetting I am a Turkish Cypriot and most of my family can not travel across the boarder to pick me up from south Cyprus, although a lot of turkish cyprus now do actually do this but it is easyier for my grandparents to drive only 20 mins then nearly an hour, besides all of us Turkish Cypriots have been doing this since 1974! after the war so we know no different really. But i will try flying to the south side maybe next year, I went over to the see my dads village on the south side last year, it has just been left like a ghost town since the war, my dad was in tears after 24 years of leaving his village and finally getting to go back was a dream come true for him! Its a big step forward for cyprus with the boarder opening.
Try this link it givesyou an option to Ercan
