The Route from Paphos to the Merit Lefkoşa Hotel
The Merit Lefkoşa Hotel & Casino is a premier destination in the heart of North Nicosia (Ortaköy area), but reaching it from the Republic of Cyprus means a substantial drive of around 146 km.
Instead of worrying about navigation or the complexities of a divided city, let our experienced chauffeurs handle the drive. You will be warmly welcomed directly inside the Paphos International Airport (PFO) arrivals hall by your driver, ready to assist with your luggage. The journey usually takes about 2h 10m, providing ample time to sit back and relax as you cross the island.
Because your destination is in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, you will need to cross a border checkpoint in Nicosia. We manage this entire process for you. You won't have to leave the taxi or unload your suitcases; simply pass your passports to the driver at the booth, and they will take care of the paperwork efficiently.
Total distance approx. 146 km, typical travel time 2h 10m depending on cross-border traffic.

Avoid Border Crossing Complications in Nicosia
A common mistake travellers make is assuming any taxi waiting at Paphos Airport can drive directly to North Nicosia. In reality, most southern taxis do not carry the commercial insurance required for the North. This often leaves tourists stranded at the Nicosia pedestrian crossing, having to haul their bags across the border to find a second cab to take them to the Merit Lefkoşa.
When you book with us, your vehicle is fully insured for the whole island. The comfortable car you enter at Paphos is the exact same one that drops you at the door of the Merit Lefkoşa Hotel. Our dedicated service completely eliminates the hassle of navigating local transport networks.

Can I use public transport from Paphos to the Merit Lefkoşa Hotel?
There is no direct public bus service linking Paphos Airport to North Nicosia, making this option exceptionally difficult for international visitors.
To attempt this by bus, you would need to travel into Paphos city, catch an intercity coach to the south side of Nicosia, carry your luggage through the pedestrian border checkpoint on foot, and then find local transport on the northern side to take you to the hotel. This exhausting process can take many hours. A pre-arranged private taxi is the only sensible and comfortable way to make this trip.
