Travel & stay

The wedding is at Nissaki in Agia Thekla, on the east coast. Agia Napa is a ten minute drive away and Protaras is twenty, and we'd suggest basing yourself in one of the two.

Getting there

Larnaca (LCA) is the closest airport, about forty five minutes by car. Paphos (PFO) is on the other side of the island, roughly two hours away, but sometimes has better flights. Both have taxis, and transfers can be booked ahead.

Once you're here you won't need a car if you're staying in Agia Napa or Protaras. Both are walkable, and taxis and buses run between them. Hire a car if you want to see more of the island.

Where to stay

Both have plenty of hotels, apartments and villas, and they are about ten minutes apart by car. We have some suggestions for hotels below, and we'll be contacting some of them to try to get discounted rates for guests. Feel free to book anywhere you find within your budget, though. There is a huge selection of choices, so choose what suits you best. Don't worry about how far it is from the venue, because there will be transport to the venue from both Agia Napa and Protaras.

Protaras, for a quieter week

Quiet in the day and lively in the evening. Fig Tree Bay, Vyzakia, and Green Bay are here, along with the coastal boardwalk, and Protaras Avenue and Pernera have the restaurants and bars. You can typically find somewhere to stay that is walkable to both the beach and most of the restaurants and nightlife.

Suggestions for hotels

Agia Napa, for more going on

Busier, with the marina for waterfront dinners, a waterpark and a funfair, and as much nightlife as you want. Nissi, Makronissos and Landa beaches are all close.

Good to know

Weather
Late September is hot: around 25 to 30°C in the day and about 20°C in the evening. Pack light layers and swimwear, but bring something warm for the evening as it could get chilly.
Money
Euros. Cards work almost everywhere, but carry some cash for taxis and the mountain villages.
Driving
Traffic drives on the left, the same as the UK. Speed limits and distances are in kilometres, and road signs are in Greek and English.
Phones
EU plans roam at no extra cost in the south, but not if you cross to the north. UK and other non-EU plans often charge either way, so check before you fly. An eSIM is the cheap way round it.
Plugs
230V and Type G three-pin sockets, the same as the UK. If you're coming from outside the UK you'll want a UK adapter.
Tap water
Safe to drink. Most people still prefer filtered or bottled because of the taste, and most places filter theirs.
Bathrooms
The plumbing can't take paper, so there's a covered bin beside most toilets. Use it rather than flushing toilet paper.
Kiosks
Periptera sit on most street corners, open early until late and some around the clock. Snacks, water, drinks, adapters and anything you've forgotten.
Deliveries
Wolt and Foody cover the island and deliver from tavernas, cafés and the kiosks.
