Detailed directions from Ercan and Paphos airports to the dergah will follow soon Inshallah.
Tip: Prior to travelling, we recommend you to download a map of Cyprus with Google maps using the ‘offline maps’ feature. It’s great if you need help without signal.
Here below a summary of how to get to the Dergah from Larnaca airport.
(If you’d like to visit Hala Sultan Tekke, buses take you every 3 hours so it’s best to walk 30 mins or catch a taxi)
Important: Buses on the Greek side require Euros and buses on the Turkish side require Turkish Lira so Remember to have both currencies at hand.
1– Outside the airport catch the ‘425’ bus towards DEKELEIA via “Cyprus public transport” (every 20 mins More info here: https://publictransport.com.cy/
