You're Going to Cyprus? Hold on, How Far Exactly is That?
So, you've decided to ditch the dreary London weather for the sunshine-soaked shores of Cyprus. Excellent choice! But before you pack your swimsuit and stock up on halloumi (because, let's be honest, that's half the reason you're going), there's a burning question that needs answering: just how far is Cyprus from London?
Further than a Pint's Throw, But Not Quite as Far as Your Weekend Wanderlust Takes You
Let's be real, you can't exactly hop on a Boris bike and cycle your way to Cyprus. We're talking thousands of kilometres, not kilometres down the road. In fact, the shortest distance between London and Cyprus is a cool 3,207 kilometres (or about 1,993 miles). That's farther than you can throw a metaphorical javelin (and let's be honest, throwing actual javelins is highly discouraged).
But Fear Not, Fearless Traveller!
Modern marvels like airplanes exist for a reason! A typical flight from London to Cyprus takes around 4-5 hours, which is basically the amount of time it takes to watch the entire "Lord of the Rings" trilogy (extended edition, of course). So, buckle up, pop in some earphones, and by the time Frodo destroys the One Ring, you'll be practically dipping your toes in the Mediterranean.
So, How Far Have We Come?
Well, we've learned that Cyprus is a good way to escape the London gloom, but it's not exactly a weekend trip by car. Thankfully, airplanes exist, making the journey a breeze (well, as breezy as it gets at 30,000 feet).
