Ercan Airport is only accessible by road, both by regular bus routes and by taxi.
Car rental
If you want to explore Northern Cyprus properly, even with the not-so-clear public transport, hiring a car is definitely the best option.
There are two local car rental companies at Ercan Airport, Pacific and Trip. Weekly rental rates are around 200 eur year-round.
