Hi all,
Below are pictures from my trip to the land of Aphrodite-the Goddess of Love (Cyprus), back in December 2011. Since on the way going to Larnaca I was so tired and did not take many pictures, I focus mostly on the return segment but include the few inbound flight pictures down here.
Athens Airport
There were many shops in the Athens airport, but in order to go to the gates you had to go past security and there were no more shops after you pass the security. It'd be better is people had access to shops after entering the gates area.
Onboard our plane
A tasty Turkey sandwich snack
Seatback contents
Larnaca Airport arrival and baggage claim
Pictures below are from our retunr segment. Unfortunately since we go tot the airport a bit late, we did not have much time to wander around and as soon as we passed security we rushed to the plane and I could only take these few shots from the airport terminal of Larnaca. Which was small but nice and bright.
Onboard
Great views of Larnaca on Take off, the whole city was visible, which was very nice
More modern cabin than the one we flew in from Athens
I really like their company logo
A very cute Bebe :)
Aphrodite Class is such a cool and authentic name, well chosen
A look at our plane after landing
We had a flight to Istanbul later that night and since we had some time, we decided to explore the airport a bit. Below are the pictures:
On the second floor of land side area there is a McDonald's that overlooks the apron but only the tails of aircrafts are visible at the gate and they come to view once they are taxing
A look down at the shops
There was also a nice and small church- praying room on the second floor as well
Alsdo there was a mini museum at the second floor as well
Outside of the terminal
Then we headed back inside to go to gate for our flight to Istanbul with Olympic Airways. Below are 2 pictures from this flight, the cabin was the old version but seats were comfortable. The meal was nice for this short flight as well.
Below are some bonus pictures of awesome Cyprus from Larnaca, Nicosia and Limassol

Hope you enjoyed this FR :)
Thanks for sharing this FR
Great pictures as usual
You had a sandwich on the inbound flight and nothing on the outbound's ?
Gorgeous bonus
Thanks so much, actually I don't remember what they gave us on the outbound flight. I'm sure they gave the same sort of sandwich but I forgot to take a picture of it :)
I have never seen a safety card bearing the plane's registration number (5B-DCG).
Nice bonus, but more detailed identification of the locations (when relevant) would be welcome.
Thanks for sharing - this is the first report on this airline :)
Yes, actually you are right. The safety card had the registration number. Yes for sure I should have add some description of places too. I guess I was being a bit lazy. I'm glad you liked the pictures :)
Thanks for sharing the first report on Cyprus Airways! Seems like a pretty decent little airline. The cabin on the way back to ATH definitely looks better, though. Nice to see the inside of an old Olympic Airways plane, I guess they're all gone or changed over to Aegean colors and interior by now. Very nice bonus. I've never thought about going to Cyprus before, but it looks really nice.
Thanks very much Kevin, yes the outbound flight cabin for sure was much better and more modern. Yes, Cyprus is such a nice and vibrant place with friendly people too :)
Kevin, there is a typo on the name Larnaca on the report heather on top, could you kindly change it from Larnarca to Larnaca. Thanks so much :)
Thanks for sharing this report with the beautiful bonus. Of course the appeal of Cyprus is elevated by a couple of notches with your pictures. ;)
Thanks so much Jetsetpanda. Appreciate it :)
