Tehran’s Imam Khomeini International Airport offers a pleasant and efficient start to your journey, blending modern convenience with traditional Iranian hospitality.

To reach the airport, taxis and hire cars are the primary transport options. The taxi journey time is around 90 minutes, depending on traffic. Shuttle buses connect the airport to the nearest metro station and Mehrabad International Airport. If you are driving, follow the Tehran-Qom Freeway (Route 7). Short-term parking is available next to the terminal, and a regular free shuttle runs from the long-term car parks (2 and 3).
Once inside, you will find the well-laid out Terminal 1 easy to navigate. Free Wi-Fi is available in the Departure lounge. Banks and currency exchange facilities are on hand, but remember credit cards are not widely accepted in Iran. Retail outlets sell locally-produced Iranian goods, and a duty-free shop is available.

Larnaca is a captivating destination that effortlessly blends thousands of years of history with a modern, coastal atmosphere. You'll be warmly welcomed to this Mediterranean city, offering plenty to explore.
Take a relaxing stroll along the Finikoudes promenade, lined with palm trees. Unwind on its golden sands or visit Mackenzie Beach, known for its clear waters. For a glimpse into the past, visit the imposing Larnaca Fort, an Ottoman structure now housing a museum with fascinating archaeological artefacts. You can also stop by the Pierides Museum, showcasing an impressive collection spanning over five thousand years of Cypriot history.
The city also boasts unique natural and cultural landmarks. Near the Larnaca Salt Lake, you'll find the tranquil Hala Sultan Tekke mosque, a significant place of pilgrimage. It's also incredibly beautiful during the winter months, when the lake attracts migratory flamingos, creating a colourful natural spectacle that should not be missed. Continue exploring with a visit to the ruins of Kition, an ancient port city that thrived over three thousand years ago.
