Seychelles International Airport is your welcoming gateway as you depart from the paradise island of Mahé. This warm and friendly airport is located approximately 12 kilometres southeast of the capital and offers attentive staff dedicated to making your journey stress-free.
When considering transport to the airport, a taxi is the easiest option; however, be mindful of potential night-time surcharges if you have an evening flight. Alternatively, buses run regularly every 20-30 minutes from the capital’s centre, or you may utilise the limousine service offered by many hotels for VIP guests. Please note that parking is extremely limited, so using public transport or taxis is the most practical solution.
Upon arrival, head to the main terminal's Departure hall for check-in. Although the airport is relatively small, security checks are thorough and lengthy, so allow yourself about one to one and a half hours to complete both check-in and customs clearance. For your comfort, facilities are adequate, including Wi-Fi throughout the terminal. You can enjoy light snacks and beverages from the coffee bars, or a meal from the restaurant which serves food until the early evening. Remember to avoid taking photographs while at the airport due to the operational military base situated near the runway.
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.
