The Company EAL LTD only transfers from Larnaca Airport to Limassol and back. There are only 2 bus stops in Limassol. The first one at AGIOS ATHANASIOS, and the other one at AGIOS GEORGIOS HAVOUZA.For weekdays and weekends timetables are the same.No booking in advance. Tickets are purchased on the bus from the driver.The trip from the Airport to Limassol is approximately an hour.Fares are 8 euro for adults (12 years and up)Children 4 euro (5-12 years) Free for infants up to 5 years old.There is no extra charge for luggage.www.airportshuttlebus.euThe bus terminal at the Airport is on the ground level to your left as you exit the arrivals. It is approximately 20 meters as you exit the airport building. The sign on the bus is “Limassol Airport Express”.The link will help you open the PDF and see the timetable:

The Green Intercity Buses

by greekcypriot

Find all the information you might need through the thread I give below.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, PaphosAgia 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!

Useful phone for Arrivals and Departures

by greekcypriot

Call the automatic phone number 77778833 to assure that your flight has not changed.I always find this number very useful and hours before my departure I check to see in case something has changed. This saves me both time and money.

Renting a car in Cyprus

by globetrott

Public transport in Cyprus is not really perfect and so I decided to rent a car. According to my experience the rental cars are cheaper in Larnaca than those in touristy Paphos. Roads are mostly in quite a bad condition in Cyprus and you have to drive on the left and the local roundabouts are at least in the beginning a bit tricky for drivers not beeing used to the british type of roundabouts with 2-3 seperate tracks in them, but drivers in Cyprus mostly care a lot for each other and I hardly ever met a real racing-rowdy except sometimes in some cars with a red licence-plate, so those were tourists in a rental car !When renting a car in Cyprus you have to sign a contract that does not allow you to drive on roads that are not asphalted and it is also forbidden to cross the border and drive through the part of Cyprus that is occupied by the army of Turkey !

Shuttle buses in Larnaca

by greekcypriot

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!!!

Taxis in Cyprus

by greekcypriot

Taxis are widely available in big cities, but don't expect to hold up your hand a stop a taxi like it is done in Greece or other countries. It is advisable to ask for help at the reception of your hotel. If in the meantime you find a reliable taxi driver ask for his card and call him whenever you need a taxi while on the island.Discus about the cost before you get in and drive off. A 15% surcharge is in operation from 23:00 - 06:00. Some taxi drivers expect some tipping but it depends on you actually if you see that the guy really deserves it.The taxi driver whose phone number I am giving below is the guy who drove me from the Airport to Larnaca. I asked for his card because he seemed a reliable guy.
