Cyprus tickets are the entry passes, admission tickets and access passes that travellers book for attractions on the island. Find more trip ideas on Greece Tours. This guide covers water parks, museums, a zoo, a waterfall and airport lounges. It also explains how to buy, who pays less, the seasons and the weather terms.
What are Cyprus tickets, and which ones can you book online?
An attraction ticket is a pass for one venue on one date. The Cyprus tickets on this page cover water parks, a museum, a zoo, a waterfall and two airport lounges. You pick a date online and show the voucher at the door.
Cyprus is the third largest island in the Mediterranean. Each coast has its own gates and box offices. Cyprus tickets turn those gates into bookings you make from home, before the plane lands.
GetYourGuide files three of these gigs under the label Entry ticket. They are the Adonis Baths waterfall, the Paradox Museum in Limassol and a ticket for a water park in Paphos. Viator sells admission tickets for Fasouri Watermania, for WaterWorld in Ayia Napa and for Pafos Zoo.
- Water parks: Limassol, Ayia Napa and Paphos.
- Museum and zoo: the Paradox Museum in Limassol and Pafos Zoo.
- Waterfall: Adonis Baths, with a ride out from Paphos or Coral Bay.
- Airports: one lounge pass at Paphos and one at Larnaca.
This page is about venues, not flights. For boat trips, jeep safaris and guided day trips, our Cyprus tours page lists the options by resort.
Which Cyprus tickets cover water parks?
Water parks at Limassol, Ayia Napa and Paphos sell Cyprus tickets online. Viator lists the the Fasouri Watermania admission ticket and the WaterWorld admission ticket. The Paphos park has its own page.
Fasouri Watermania stands in Fasouri village, in the municipality of Limassol. The park says it is the biggest water park in Cyprus. It lists over 100,000 square metres, 30 different slides and attractions, and six food and beverage outlets.
The Kamikaze is a steep 50 metre runway with a six storey drop. The Black Hole slide runs 120 metres in complete darkness. The lazy river stretches 400 metres, and its rafts carry up to 10 visitors. The park also claims the biggest wave pool in Cyprus.
Cyprus tickets for Fasouri also open a knee-deep interactive pool of 1,000 square metres for children. Big slides ask for a minimum height of 120 cm and a minimum age of 8. A Fasouri gate check bars food, drink, glass, alcohol and pets.
GoPro cameras are allowed on slides only when strapped to the chest, head or wrist. Lockers rent at the changing rooms. A licensed nurse runs the first aid station during operating hours. About 2,000 sun beds stand around the park, with one free umbrella for every two beds.
WaterWorld Themed WaterPark sits at Ayia Thekla road 18 in Ayia Napa. Its theme comes from ancient Greek mythology. The park lists over 30 rides and attractions, including one of the largest wave pools in Europe. It reports over four million guests to date.
The WaterWorld FAQ says admission covers all rides, sun beds, umbrellas, showers and changing rooms. Lockers rent for a daily charge. Wetsuits are banned on body slides but allowed in the pools. The park counts over 8 restaurants and bars.
These Cyprus tickets from WaterWorld hold for an entire day. A re-entry hand stamp from Customer Services lets you leave the park and come back on the same ticket.
Paphos has a third option. The Aphrodite Waterpark keeps its ticket types, slides and rules on our Paphos water park tickets page. This page leaves them there.
Which Cyprus tickets cover museums and zoos?
Two venues lead the museum and zoo group: the Paradox Museum in Limassol and Pafos Zoo near Paphos. GetYourGuide sells the museum entry ticket. Viator lists the Pafos Zoo Ticket, so these Cyprus tickets come from two sellers.
The GetYourGuide gig Limassol: Paradox Museum Entry Ticket promises 50+ optical illusions. The listing gives one hour as the duration. Its labels read skip the line and wheelchair accessible, and a booking needs only 5 minutes of notice.
The Paradox Museum is a chain of illusion venues. Its global site lists cities from Barcelona to Shanghai, and Limassol is the Cyprus site. A press line on that site says visitors step into cleverly designed rooms while a companion takes the photo.
Pafos Zoo calls itself the first established and biggest licensed zoo in Cyprus. It covers more than 100,000 square metres on Xylomantrou Street in Agiou Georgiou. Its residents include giraffes, meerkats, kangaroos, albino wallabies, mouflon, white lions and tigers.
The zoo says its collection of parrots and venomous snakes is one of the largest in Europe. A parrot and owl show runs every day in the amphitheatre. Three small museums stand on site: natural history, traditional art with pottery, and traditional clothes.
The zoo also runs conservation programmes, including the breeding of endemic species. Its site lists the newest births. Cyprus tickets for the zoo bring you to that work, not only to the enclosures.
Animal interactions sit outside the online ticket. Visitors can hand feed lemurs, feed giraffes from a private platform and meet Asian elephants with a keeper. The zoo arranges these at the enclosures and takes cash only.
A direct transfer bus runs from Paphos every day from April to October. In winter it runs three times a week. It needs a reservation. GetYourGuide also lists Paphos: Zoo Visit and Blue Lagoon Cruise with Guide & Lunch, an 8 hour guided tour with pickup.
How does the Adonis Baths waterfall entry ticket work?
The Adonis Baths waterfall entry ticket bundles entry to the falls with a morning ride from Paphos or Coral Bay. The listing gives 3 hours as the duration, offers pickup and keeps the group small. It is one of the Cyprus tickets that includes a ride.
The GetYourGuide gig Adonis Baths Waterfall: Entry Ticket with Morning Transfer sells the falls as a ticket. Its abstract promises a swim in emerald pools, a look at ancient statues and a museum visit.
Adonis Baths is a waterfall in the Paphos district, 267 metres above sea level, north-west of Kili village. The Mavrokolympos river gathers there and forms a small waterfall and a small lake, as Wikipedia describes it.
Wikipedia adds that the owner of the surrounding land introduced the name Adonis Baths. The name is separate from the historically documented Baths of Aphrodite. The river is public land, but access to the site is subject to a fee charged by the owner’s company.
That fee explains why Cyprus tickets exist for a waterfall. The listing asks you to book at least 10 hours in advance. Departure is in the morning from Paphos or Coral Bay, and the tour runs as a small group only.
How do you buy Cyprus tickets online and at the gate?
Book online on the venue’s own page or on a booking platform, or pay at the ticket desk on arrival. Online Cyprus tickets arrive by email or as a scannable code. Gate sales suit travellers who decide on the day.
Pafos Zoo shows the online flow step by step. You pick a date in the booking calendar. Then you add your name, email and telephone number, plus the place you stay if you want the zoo shuttle. After payment, an email brings your unique ticket, and you scan it at the zoo entrance.
WaterWorld in Ayia Napa sells both ways. Its FAQ says visitors can buy tickets online or at the park entrance. Admission is valid for an entire day. To leave and come back, ask Customer Services for a re-entry hand stamp on your way out.
The Adonis Baths site answers the where-to-pay question in one line: at the entrance upon arrival. A visitor who drives there needs no reservation. A private or group jeep safari to the site needs a booking in advance.
Booking platforms print their own rules on each listing. The Paradox Museum entry ticket in Limassol carries a Skip the line label. It asks you to book at least 5 minutes ahead. The Adonis Baths ticket with a morning transfer asks for at least 10 hours. Read these labels before you pay, because each ticket sets its own cut-off.
WaterWorld adds one more rule worth knowing. Its prices page says a ticket bought online works on any day of the season. So Cyprus tickets from the web give you a flexible date, and the gate desk gives you a same-day choice.
Which Cyprus airport lounge tickets can you book?
Two airport lounge passes are on sale. They are PFO Paphos International Airport Premium Lounge Access and LCA Larnaca Airport Skala Lounge Access. Both Cyprus tickets show a 3-hour length and a wheelchair accessible label on their listings.
The Hermes Airports site lists three lounges on the island. Skala Lounge and the Aegean Business lounge sit at Larnaka airport. The Premium Lounge sits at Pafos airport. Hermes says its lounges offer complimentary pre-flight bites and refreshments.
The Premium Lounge stands in departures at Pafos, opposite boarding gate number 7. It opens two hours ahead of every scheduled flight. Hermes says it invites all travellers, whatever their class of travel. The lounge opens daily based on the flight schedule.
The Larnaca pass among these Cyprus tickets leads to Skala Lounge, on the third floor of Larnaka airport. Hermes says you enjoy its services upon payment. A welcome desk and a staffed bar greet you, and alcohol is included in the entry price. Every seat has power and USB ports.
The same page describes a family zone with a video games console. It also lists a work area built to shield you from the airport bustle. Guests can pay in their home currency. For direct bookings, Hermes points to its official on-site booking page.
The third lounge works by status, not by pass. Hermes says Aegean Airlines offers its Business Lounge to business class passengers. Members of the Miles & Bonus Gold or Star Alliance Gold schemes are invited too.
Cyprus tickets cover bags as well. A luggage storage listing sits inside The Cyprus Museum in Lefkosia. Its description names insurance, 24/7 customer support and no size restrictions. Visit Cyprus lists the museum as open Tuesday to Friday from 08:00 to 18:00.
Who gets reduced or free Cyprus tickets?
Children under 3 enter WaterWorld free. The Department of Antiquities cuts entry fees by 20% for organised groups of more than ten people. Adonis Baths lists separate adult and child rates. Check the venue before you book Cyprus tickets for a family.
WaterWorld splits its ticket list into adults, children and infants. Its FAQ says children under 3 need no admission ticket. Visitors aged 13 and younger must come with an adult. Residents ask the park by phone or email for their discount prices.
WaterWorld also offers special rates for groups, schools and corporate events. A season ticket gives unlimited admission. Contact the park for the details of both, since the FAQ sends you to its office.
The Department of Antiquities runs the island’s archaeological sites and ancient monuments. Its sites page lists a 20% reduction on entry fees for organised groups of more than ten people. Its news pages also announce free entrance on April 18 each year.
April 18 is the International Day for Monuments and Sites, which UNESCO set up. On that day the Department waives entry to all its archaeological sites and ancient monuments. Those sites need no Cyprus tickets then.
Adonis Baths prices the whole theme park with one adult rate and one child rate. You can stay as long as you want after you pay. Fasouri Watermania sets a rule instead of a rate. The park admits no child under 12 unless an adult goes in too.
None of the pages above lists a student or senior rate. Ask at the ticket desk when you arrive. Treat any other discount as unconfirmed until staff confirm it.
When do Cyprus tickets for outdoor attractions run?
Outdoor Cyprus tickets follow the season. Fasouri Watermania runs from mid April to mid October, and WaterWorld from April to the end of October. Pafos Zoo and Adonis Baths open every day of the year.
Limassol Tourism lists the Fasouri Watermania season as mid April to mid October, weather permitting. The park opens 10:00 to 17:00 from mid April until June 1, and again from September 1. It opens 10:00 to 18:00 from June 1 to August 31.
The park’s own information page lists weeks with weekend-only opening. It adds that days can change because of unforeseen circumstances. Check its monthly hours page before you buy Cyprus tickets for a weekday in spring or autumn.
WaterWorld’s FAQ gives 10:00 to 17:00 for the first two and the last two months of its season. It also says the pools are not heated. The water averages 24 to 26 degrees in those four months. In June, July and August it passes 30 degrees.
Pafos Zoo opens daily at 9am, and its closing time moves with the months. It closes at 17:00 from November to March, and at 18:00 from April to July. In August it closes at 19:00. In September and October it closes at 18:00.
The zoo’s parrot and owl show runs three times a day. January to March and October to December show at 12pm, 2pm and 4pm. April to September show at 12pm, 2:30pm and 5pm. The zoo tells visitors to confirm times at the entrance.
The zoo’s transfer bus runs daily from April to October. From November to March it runs three times a week. The return bus leaves the zoo at 14:30 and is the only bus into Paphos. Cyprus tickets with the shuttle follow that calendar.
Adonis Baths says it is open every day all year, so Cyprus tickets for the waterfalls face no closed season. Summer hours run 09:00 to 19:00. September and October run 09:00 to 18:30. Winter runs 09:00 to 17:00.
How do you reach the places that Cyprus tickets cover?
Four-lane motorways link Nicosia with Limassol, Larnaca, Paphos and Ayia Napa, and buses, taxis and rental cars all use them. The water parks, zoo and museums behind Cyprus tickets sit in or beside those coastal towns. The road network does the work.
Visit Cyprus names four bus types. Airport buses link the towns with Larnaca and Paphos airports. Interurban buses link all major towns daily, on frequent routes. Urban buses run inside the towns, and rural buses link villages with the nearest town on a lighter timetable.
Different companies run the town buses. Cyprus Public Transport serves Nicosia and Larnaca. EMEL serves Limassol, the Paphos Transport Organisation serves Paphos, and M.E. Ammochostos Buses serves Paralimni, Protaras and Ayia Napa.
- Limassol to Paphos and Paphos to Limassol
- Larnaca to Limassol and Limassol to Larnaca
- Ayia Napa to Larnaca, and Ayia Napa to Protaras
- Paralimni, Ayia Napa and Limassol on one line
Those are routes of L.L.L.A. Intercity Buses, as Visit Cyprus lists them. Check the timetable on the operator website before you book Cyprus tickets for a morning entry.
Urban taxis run all day and night in every town. You can book them by phone or wave one down. The taximeter is compulsory. Rural taxis work only from their base station, except for pickups at an airport or seaport.
Car hire firms have offices in every town and at both airports. Traffic keeps to the left. Seat belts are compulsory in front and back. The limit on motorways is 100 km/h, on other roads 80 km/h, and in built-up areas 50 km/h.
The A1 motorway runs 73 kilometres between Nicosia and Limassol. The A6 joins Limassol and Paphos, and the A3 joins Larnaca airport with Ayia Napa. Together they join the island’s major cities with four-lane roads. A driver with Cyprus tickets for two towns reaches both on a motorway.
What happens to Cyprus tickets if the weather or plans change?
Read the cancellation label on the listing before you pay. The waterfall, museum and lounge tickets carry the label “Free cancellation”. Fasouri Watermania states that it gives no refunds for delays or closures due to bad weather.
The label comes from the booking widget itself. The waterfall ticket also shows “Must book at least 10h in advance”. The museum ticket shows “Must book at least 5min in advance”.
The cut-off differs from ticket to ticket, so the label of your own ticket is the one to read. Cyprus tickets for one island do not share one rule. Open the listing page for the full terms before you pay.
Fasouri Watermania, the Limassol water park, spells out its weather rule on its information page. The line reads: no refunds during delays or closures due to bad weather. The page adds that its opening days can change because of unforeseen circumstances.
The park’s terms of use go further. Fasouri Watermania reserves the right to modify, suspend or withdraw any attraction, service or facility without prior notice. It names operational, maintenance, safety and weather-related reasons.
Visit Cyprus describes the weather risk. In summer, isolated thunder showers are possible, mainly over the mountains in the early afternoon. Winters are mild, with rain, and snow falls on the Troodos Mountains. Fog is rare and occurs in the early morning.
Forecasts are easy to find. The Cyprus Broadcasting Corporation gives the weather in English on radio and on television after the news. The Cyprus Mail prints a daily forecast. The Meteorological Service posts its own on its website. Check one before you leave with your Cyprus tickets for a water park.
Which Cyprus tickets are sold only at the venue?
The Department of Antiquities issues day and week entry cards at the ticket office of each museum or monument. The cards run for one day, three days or seven days. Each card opens any museum or ancient monument of the Department.
The Department states that a card can be used once for each museum and ancient monument. These Cyprus tickets exist for travellers who plan a run of archaeological stops over one, three or seven days.
Single entries carry their own fee. Visit Cyprus lists an entrance fee for Kourion, Choirokoitia, the Tombs of the Kings and the Paphos Mosaics. It adds that fees and opening times are subject to change without notice. Ask at the ticket office on arrival.
The Department publishes a list of archaeological sites that are open to the public. The list names twelve places:
- Tamassos, Idalion and Kition
- Choirokoitia and Kalavasos-Tenta
- Amathous, Palaipafos at Kouklia and Nea Pafos at Kato Pafos
- The Tombs of the Kings
- Maa-Palaiokastro, Agios Georgios at Pegeia and Kourion
Not every venue needs a ticket. Visit Cyprus gives the entrance fee as free for the Limassol, Paphos and Larnaca district archaeological museums. The Cyprus Museum in Nicosia is free too. For those places you walk in without paying, and no Cyprus tickets change hands.
The Tombs of the Kings and the Paphos Mosaics both belong to the Archaeological Park of Kato Pafos. Visit Cyprus lists each one with its own entrance fee. The two sites carry separate tickets.
What do travellers ask about these Cyprus tickets?
Is there a train between the ticket towns?
No. Visit Cyprus states that the island has no train or underground transport system. Travellers who hold Cyprus tickets for different towns move between them by bus, taxi or car.
Can a rental car cross to the north with these Cyprus tickets?
Not on the rental insurance. Visit Cyprus says that hire-car insurance is valid only within the area under the control of the Republic of Cyprus.
Can you rent a scooter to reach a venue?
Yes. Firms that hire motorcycles and mopeds work in every town and resort. The law requires a helmet for the driver and the passenger. A passenger must be over twelve years old and sit astride the seat.
Does a Department card open the same site twice?
No. The Department of Antiquities allows one entry per museum or ancient monument on each card. A second visit to the same site needs a new ticket, because these Cyprus tickets count each site once.
Can wheelchair users visit the sites?
It depends on the site. Visit Cyprus lists the Larnaca district museum as fully accessible. The Cyprus Museum has an entrance ramp and chair lifts. The Tombs of the Kings are partly accessible, with a view from above only.
Is there an audio guide?
Yes. Visit Cyprus adds an audio guide link to four pages. They cover Kourion, Choirokoitia, the Cyprus Museum and the Tombs of the Kings. Each of those pages also lists the entrance fee.
