There is daily bus service, even during the weekends as from summer 2010, the company is very reliable, and the buses depart exactly on the time mentioned.
Routes for all the main cities: Larnca, Limassol, Nicosia, Paphos
Agia Napa and Paralimni and Protaras.
AN IMPORTANT NOTICE
A number of tickets has been stolen from the Intercity Bus company and are beeing sold illegally on the market , the tickets will not be accepted on Intercity buses.
For this reason passengers are requested to buy their tickets only from the bus drivers on board the buses. Otherwise the tickets they might have got from anywhere else won't count!

You can get to the city of Larnaca with bus #22 and #23 and the bus stop is outside on the left hand side of the entrance as you leave the main building.
If you don't wish to wait for the bus, just go to the other side on the right where you can find the taxis. It will probably cost you 15 to 18 euros to get to a city hotel in Larnaca, and 25 to 30 if you want to be driven to Dhekelia road.
Be sure to ask about the cost before entering the taxi, to avoid possible misunderstandings!!!

The only local bus that I tried out is the one from the Sveltos hotel to the city of Larnaca, that distance was about 8km and my main complaint is the fact, that at the bus-stop you dont get any information at all about bus-numbers, departure-or arrival-times, first or last bus from this station etc.
The buses were quite comfortable and the ride to the beach-boulevard was 1 euro one way and I had to wait about 20 min for a bus to arrive.

Larnaca airport is in a distance of ca. 5km from the southern suburbs of Larnaca, it is a modern airport and arriving from the Schengen-area it was no problem at all with customs and other formalities.
Down in the entrancehall you will find several rental-car-companies and in my opinion it is best to have a reservation for a car before you get there. Some of the counters had been full, like europcar, that I had booked at, others were always empty.
Be aware that some of them have only a counter at the airport, while their cars are waiting for you in the citycentre.
In Cyprus you are driving on the LEFT SIDE of the road, but the first kms on the highway from the airport to Larnaca will be a good way to experience the difference to driving on the other side of the street.

I rented a car in Larnaca
obviously its much cheaper to rent here than in Paphos and in other places of Cyprus. In the cheapest cathegory I payed a total of 174 euros for 7 days, unlimited milage and all insurances without a single cent to be payed by myself in case of an accident.
I booked my car with Europcar in advance through my travelagent in Vienna.

If coming from Kyrenia, you should better come to Nicosia, pass the borders and then take a taxi (mini bus)that would drive you to Larnaca to Phinikoudes (Palm tree avenue). Out there you find the bus stop that will take you to Agia Napa.
It does not cost more than 8 euros I think, but I suggest that you spend a couple of days at Agia Napa as it is a place you would love to be. I think it is worth it.
If you want to go to Agia Napa from Larnaca by Taxi it will cost you about 40 euros (call 99672783 Leon Taxi service) or Xenis Stratis 99531221.
Both are reliable, and ask for a discount and whoever gives you the best price book it. You can use my name if you wish.
However, I still believe that you can take the bus from Larnaca and it is just 45 minutes...so why pay more!
In my Larnaca tips you will find much informtion on (Transportation with phone numbers and sites) Have a look and if you need more help just get in touch.

Travel Express or simply Travel X is an intercity mini bus/taxi which is very convenient and more economical compared to a private hire taxicab. I used this means of transportation almost the whole stay in Cyprus. Being an intercity transport, you may use their services in any of the following routes:
Larnaca to Nicosia
Nicosia to Paphos
Paphos to Limassol
Limassol to Nicosia
and other areas
You may check the schedule and more detailed information on their website I provided below. In the meantime, I am giving you the address and working hours in Larnaca as follows:
Corner of Kilkis & Kitiou (Main Office) Tel 24 621100 Mon-Fri 07:30 - 19:00 07:30 - 17:00
Corner of Papakyriakou and Markelou Tel 24 661070 Saturday 05:30 - 19:00 05:30 - 17:00

With Nicosia airport in the Green line area since the Turkish invasion of 1974, there are now only two international airports in Cyprus - Larnaca and the newer Paphos. I always fly to Larnaca.
It is not a huge place, although there is currently building work going on, although I'm not sure if they are merely extending the runway or building a new terminal.
On arrival, there are a couple of money exchanges in the baggage reclaim area, although I suggest you only change the minimum necessary as the rates are better here. If you are a smoker, there is a small smoking area just beside the exchange places.
Immigration formalities are normally fairly quick, especially for EU citizens.
If you are making your own way onward, there is only a very limited bus service (recently started) to and from the airport, although there are always numerous taxis at the rank which is just outside the door on the right. Here's a tip for you if you have to wait a while for a bus or a pick-up. Just behind the taxi rank is a small cafe used by the drivers where you can get proper coffee far cheaper than in the terminal.
If you are leaving, the departures area is currently undergoing work. It has all the normal duty free section and a decent sized cafe / bar area. You should be aware that the furthest gate is only about a minutes walk from the cafe area, so no need to get to the gate too early.
The website attached gives comprehensive details.
