FAQ: How do I find my taxi driver at the airport?
Ercan Airport
After collecting your luggage, proceed to the main exit on the arrivals level. Please note that drivers are not permitted inside the terminal, so your driver will be waiting just outside the exit doors with a sign.
Larnaca Airport
Once you pass through customs, remain inside the arrivals hall near the snack/coffee shop (as shown in the photo below). This is the designated meeting area with metal barriers where drivers wait to greet passengers.
There are two exits from customs: One exit leads directly toward the snack/coffee shop—simply stop there. The other exit leads away from the shop. If you take this one, please walk across to the snack/coffee shop area to meet your driver
How long does the transfer take from the airport to the hotel?
Direct transfers from Larnaca airport to High Life take about 90 minutes with a short stop at the border. If there is traffic or a crowd at the border it can take up to 2 hours. For travel agent guests, if there are additional stops at other hotels before High Life, the trip may be longer. Ercan airport is 45 minutes from High Life.
Do you have Wi-Fi everywhere?
Yes we do and it is free.
Are there restrictions on how much money tourists can bring?
Yes, and according to Ercan Airport, it is $10,000.
What is the local / best currency to bring / use?
The local currency is Turkish Lira but GBP, Euros and USD are widely accepted. However if tendering a different currency other than TL, you must be careful that the rate used is a fair one.

It is best to bring foreign currency and exchange them here rather than your home country for better rates.
