Departure from Sheremetyevo
Airline WIZZ
When choosing an air carrier, you should, first of all, pay attention to how much time you can donate for the trip, as well as what budget you initially have. So, the cheapest for this day will be the offer from the WIZZ airline, a plane ticket for which will cost an ordinary tourist only 7,600 rubles. And you don't have to spend more than 9 hours and 15 minutes in the sky. The only drawback of this route is the presence of one change in Budapest, which will take almost 4 hours. But if you are in no hurry, we advise you to take a closer look at this lucrative offer.
Airline AEGEAN
AEGEAN airline is ready to offer similar conditions, its planes make several flights every day from Sheremetyevo airport. At the same time, although the ticket will cost only 300 rubles more, the journey will take at least 20 hours and 50 minutes. This is due to the fact that the waiting time for departure in Athens will be especially long (15.5 hours!). On the one hand, you can spend this time profitably and get to know the capital of Greece.
But what if the waiting time is late? In this case, it is worth considering the possibility of continuing on a different plane. So, in this regard, an offer from the same airline will be interesting, by plane of which you can get to the coveted coast of Cyprus for only 6.5 thousand rubles (travel time - 1 hour 45 minutes). Or find a suitable option to continue your journey by sea.

Aeroflot Airlines
The fastest flight will be from the Russian carrier "Aeroflot", on the plane of which you can get to Cyprus with a direct flight. In particular, every day at 10.35 Moscow time planes take off, the final destination of which is Larnaca airport. Travel time will be only 4 hours, which will be to the taste of many travelers. But be prepared for the fact that you will have to pay almost twice as much for a ticket as for a plane ticket from the budget company WIZZ, which we mentioned at the very beginning. But can such a trifle affect your vacation?
Land transport
Despite the fact that Cyprus is an island state, you can get to it not only by plane.
Ferry
In addition to cruise liners that run between the coastal cities of different countries and provide their passengers with a unique opportunity to get acquainted with local traditions, life and sunbathe on the white beaches, ferry crossings are also ready to offer their services. This travel option is suitable for all those who are used to traveling across the expanses of Europe in their own car.
You can get on the ferry in one of the countries located in the Mediterranean Sea basin. The ports of Bulgaria, Greece and Italy are considered especially popular, from the shores of which cargo and passenger platforms depart daily. Thus, you have a long way to go, which will run through a number of Central European countries and reach the Mediterranean coast. Immediately, we note that the only drawback of such a tour is that not everyone can pay for gasoline, travel borders and a transit visa, which is required in a number of countries. But everyone who decided on such an unusual trip will get an unforgettable, vivid experience.
A train
An alternative and more budgetary one would be a ground trip by train to Bulgaria. It will take almost 2 days to get to the railway station of the Bulgarian Varna. And then it remains to transfer to one of the sea ships, which will take you to the coast of Cyprus. Despite the fact that with the help of such a route you will be able to bypass your fear of flying, you will not be able to call such a trip affordable financially. In addition, you will spend the lion's share of your vacation on the road itself.
By the way, it is not recommended to enter the island through Turkey, as you may be refused permission to cross the border.
We hope that our information on how to get to Cyprus will be useful to you. Choose only proven routes and give preference to carriers with a good reputation. Then you can avoid possible problems on the way to a fabulous beach holiday!
