Cyprus has two international airports. <br><br>Larnaca International Airport is Cyprus' main airport and is located 140 km from the conference venue with good connections for most major European cities.<br><br>One can travel from Larnaca Airport to the conference venue using a taxi, which will take about 1 hour 45 minutes. Shared taxis will be arranged by the conference organizer by default if you choose for airport transfers during the registration process (approximate cost will be 35 Euros per transfer). Private taxis can also be selected in the registration process – please make sure to tick the appropriate box. Approximate cost will be 105 Euros per transfer.<br>
<br>Alternatively, one can reach the venue using intercity busses to reach Paphos and from there one can take a short (4km - 10min) taxi ride to the hotel venue. For more information including timetables please see the following webpage:<br>
