Are you planning a trip to Cyprus soon? Will you be staying in Limassol?

If so, you might be wondering how to get there exactly.

Well, you are in luck because we have just visited Cyprus recently

and in this video, we'll share with you how to get to Limassol from Larnaca Airport.

Hello there, poor traveler! We are Vins and Yosh.

Hello there, poor traveler! We are Vins and Yosh.

Before we begin, don't forget to like this page if you're on FB

This early, I'd like to apologize in advance if I mispronounce any of the Greek words,

but do correct me in the comments so I get to learn too.

Okay, just to make sure we're on the same page,

here are some facts you need to know about the Republic of Cyprus before your trip.

Cyprus uses Euro. It is the de facto or official currency,

so the figures that we'll be sharing in this video are all in Euro.

The official language is Greek.

For English speakers, there may be a bit of a language barrier,

but most locals can speak and understand English.

Limassol is located along the southern coast of the island.

It is the second largest urban area, next only to the Republic's capital, Nicosia.

The biggest gateway to Cyprus is Larnaca Airport,

located in the city of Larnaca, also along the southern coast.

From here, Limassol is roughly an hour away in the southwest direction.

You have two options to get there.

By public bus and by direct airport shuttle or airport bus.

The public bus is cheaper but it takes longer because it involves a transfer,

which I will be explaining later.

Upon landing at Larnaca Airport,

you'll need to go through the usual arrival formalities like immigration and customs inspection.

After picking up your luggage, you'll be exiting into the arrival hall.

From here, you have two options.

Option A, by direct bus.

If you wish to take the direct bus, turn left.

At the far end, just before the exit, you'll find this ticket counter.

There's only one bus that goes directly from the airport to Limassol

and it's operated by Limassol Airport Express.

And this is its counter.

This bus is the fastest, easiest, and most convenient way to reach Limassol.

Travel time is only 50 minutes without any transfer

and making only one other stop before it terminates.

The first stop is the so-called tourist area near the St. Raphael Resort,

Grand Resort, and Kanika Elias Beach.

The second and final stop is at the Limassol Airport Express Station in the city center

at the Ayos Iorios Havuzas Station just beside the church.

Fare is €10 for adults and €5 for children 3 to 12 years old.

It runs from 5am to 11.15pm, making a total of 13 trips at varying intervals.

As of our last visit in 2023, here's the schedule.

This was the route we took as we had heavy luggage in tow.

We didn't want to make a transfer in the middle of the city while carrying heavy bags.

From the Ayos Iorios Havuzas Station, you may hail a cab on-site

or you may use a ride-hailing app like Bolt or CabSee.

We used Bolt and a driver was assigned to us right away.

There is also an intercity bus that passes by, but we failed to get more info about it.

If your hotel is located at the Molos area near Pier Beach,

expect to pay around €12 when using Bolt.

If you get hungry, there is a cafe called Bean Around

and a really good burger joint called Fidos just beside the station.

You can also find vending machines selling drinks and snacks around the area.

By the way, it is not possible to reserve a seat in advance

so you can just buy your ticket upon arrival at the airport.

Option B by Public Bus

If you wish to take the public bus,

turn right and you'll find the exit that will lead you to city buses.

We haven't tried this, but we were able to gather some practical info about it.

You see, just before the exit, you'll see this desk,

which is all about public transportation in Larnaca.

The lady at the counter explained to us how to get to Limasol by public bus.

According to her, from Larnaca Airport, take bus 425 bound for Dekelia Power Station.

A bus leaves the airport every 20 minutes from 6.30am until 11.50pm.

Fare is €1.50 during the day and €2.50 at night.

Get off at the old hospital which is the 6th stop from the airport.

And then, transfer to the intercity bus to Limasol.

Bus fare is €4 and travel time is 1 hour and 30 minutes.

These are the stops.

Before your trip, find out which stop is closest to your hotel or destination

so you know where to alight.

You may hail a cab on site or use an app like Bolt or CabSee.

To get to Larnaca Airport from Limasol,

we also opted to take the Airport Express and simply traced our steps back.

The problem is, our flight out was scheduled at 5am the next day

and the first airport bus of the day leaves Limasol at 4am

and will arrive at the airport just before 5.

So it's not enough time.

On the other hand, the first public intercity bus of the day is scheduled at 5.50am.

Either way, we won't be able to catch our 5am flight.

Instead, we decided to just catch the last bus the night before

and just stay at the airport overnight since check-in was at 2am.

Initially, we were worried we might not be able to get a ticket.

So what we did was call first to reserve,

but we were told to just show up and buy tickets on site.

They really don't accept advanced reservations.

We made our way to the Ayos Yorios Havusa Station by cab at 8.30pm

to catch the last bus scheduled at 9.30pm.

We purchased our ticket, again, at €10 apiece.

We didn't have dinner yet, but thankfully, the Fidos food truck was still open

so we were able to get our burger fix.

It was delicious.

The bus left at exactly 9.30pm.

It was just us and one other passenger.

We arrived 15 minutes later and waited for the check-in counters to open.

That's it!
