After a careful consideration of all booking requests for coach transfers from/to the airport, the Organizing Committee has decided to arrange the following coach transfers:

From Larnaca airport to Coral Beach Hotel:

15/05/2011 at 18.00
16/05/2011 at 15.00
16/05/2011 at 16.30
17/05/2011 at 03.00
17/05/2011 at 13.00
17/05/2011 at 16.30

We hope that the above arrangement will satisfy almost all participants interested in coach transfers. In some cases some participants may have to wait for longer than two hours. In such cases participants can cancel their coach booking (with full refund), or the secretariat may try to accommodate them in a shared taxi transfer (if one materializes at a more convenient time).

Other interested participants may still book a place in any of the above coach transfers by amending their registration and adding this service online.

Please note that coaches departing from the airport will first drop off people at the Coral Beach Hotel, then at Crown Resorts Horizon and finally at Cynthiana Beach Hotel.
