Parking at Larnaca Airport
Hermes Airports runs the car parks in front of the terminal: a short-stay area nearest the doors and a larger long-stay area behind it, both open-air and a few minutes on foot from check-in. Cyprus is a car island and half the country lives within an hour of Larnaca, so the long-stay car park sees heavy local use around the UK half-term weeks, Easter and August.
Booking online in advance is cheaper than the gate rate for anything beyond a couple of days, and it guarantees a space in the peak weeks.
Parking rates
Short-stay is priced per hour, long-stay per day with weekly rates. Pay at the machines in the terminal or online before you return. The figures below are indicative; the operator publishes the current tariff on its website and at the entrances.
| Duration | Rate |
|---|---|
| First 10 minutes | Free |
| Short stay, up to 1 hour | €3 |
| Long stay, per day | about €11 |
| Long stay, per week | about €50 |
Drop-off and pick-up
The departures level has a drop-off lane for a quick stop; the arrivals forecourt is for taxis and shuttles only, and waiting cars are moved on. To meet a flight, use the short-stay car park and its free first 10 minutes. Larnaca’s arrivals are dominated by evening waves from the UK and Israel, and delays stack up; check the live board before leaving Nicosia or Limassol.
Private car parks on the airport road
Several private car parks between the airport and the Dromolaxia roundabout offer shaded or fenced parking with a shuttle to the terminal, usually cheaper than the on-site weekly rate. Shade matters in a Cyprus August; book ahead for the school holidays. The airport has no involvement in these services.
