Larnaca airport to Paphos
Posted: Thu Feb 09, 2017 4:53 pm
I thought it might be nice to provide some information on travellling to Paphos on this site, mainly for visitors.
Larnaca to Paphos is a common route for people who can't get direct flights to Paphos airport.
There are several ways of doing this journey, some of which I have tried out, and some of which I intend to try out shortly!
1. Taxi.
Larnaca airport to Paphos
You can get various quotes. I looked yesterday. Saw a price in the area of 90 euros. 100 euros to Coral Bay.
Journey time I would estimate at about 1.5 hours max.
Rush hour in Larnaca and Limassol can slow you down a little. Not a bad option if 3 or 4 people travelling together.
2. Bus.
a) Almost direct route.
Larnaca airport to Finekoudes Larnaca (minibus) and Finekoudes to Paphos town. And vv.
I have taken a direct bus from Paphos (Karavella, but stopping by the Harbour) to Larnaca (FInekoudes). Operated by Intercity buses.
This tends to run only in the summer, and once a day only. It was at 1600 from Paphos.
But you have to get a little minibus from Finikoudes (Larnaca) to the airport. A bit of a joke really. Not a lot of room for luggage. And it goes all around the houses. Crazy route - in my opinion. But - this option is the cheapest, as far as I can tell.
Information on the minibus taking you from Finekoudes bus stop in Larnaca to Larnaca airport, and vv is here
Connection with Larnaca International Airport

Info on the Larnaca to Paphos (and vv) leg is here -
Paralimni, Ayia Napa & Larnaca - Pafos / Pafos - Larnaca, Ayia Napa & Paralimni
http://www.intercity-buses.com/?wp=rout ... 4E2B5FE4F6
but I believe it stops during the winter months. But I can't see any info on this at this link. Probably somewhere.
b) more usual route - changing on the outskirts of Limassol.
Larnaca airport to Finekoudes Larnaca (minibus); then Finekoudes to Limassol outskirts, then Limassol to Paphos. And vv.
Prices, duration, timetable here, on the intercity buses website -
Larnaca - Limassol / Limassol - Larnaca

Limassol - Pafos / Pafos - Limassol
http://www.intercity-buses.com/?wp=rout ... B92B23B057
So for this route you need a total of 3 buses. Minibus from Larnaca airport to Finekoudes stop in Larnaca (info above, under 2 a) , then a bus to Limassol, and then another bus to Paphos.

Paphosbus website provides info on this route also
Intercity bus from Paphos to Larnaca Town
http://paphosbus.com/cyprus-intercity-b ... irport-bus
(note this starts off by stating that there is no direct link - but there is - once a day, summer months. )
c) i) Larnaca airport to Paphos airport.
Larnaca airport to outskirts of Limassol; then Limassol to Paphos airport. And vv.
Two timetables can be found here. (from Oct 2016). This - to me - looks again like two buses. The timetable is not entirely clear.
I presume you take a bus first to Limassol, and then change on to Paphos airport.
Changing at Agios Georgios Havouzas in Limassol.
http://enlimassolairportexpress.eu/?page_id=8
Obviously operated by Limassol Airport Express. This is different from Intercity Buses.
There is information also on this here, under Option 2
http://paphosbus.com/paphos-airport-bus ... rt-shuttle
note that here the prices stated are higher than on the Limassol website (maybe not updated).
Note - you would then need to get from Paphos airport to Paphos itself, or wherever your final destination is.
There are nice a/c buses in Paphos, but in winter they don't run in the evening. And are not too frequent.
However they are much cheaper than taking a taxi. I'll post separately about buses from Paphos airport to Paphos (613 (Karavella, Old town), 612 (Harbour).
I've ridden 612. Very quick. Maybe 20 minutes journey time.
c) ii) Larnaca airport to Paphos airport.
Direct route operated by Kapnos Airport Shuttle.
Less frequent. Info and timetables at this link -
https://www.kapnosairportshuttle.com
3 or 4 buses a day. Last one at 1830. Looks like you have to "book" your place.
States a journey time of 90 minutes. Quote from site -
Larnaca Airport → Paphos Airport (VALID FROM 13/01/2017 ) €15.00 (Child is 5.00. Student 10 euros. )
Note - you would then need to get from Paphos Airport to Paphos itself. See c) i) above.
3. Airport shuttle
Larnaca airport to Paphos and vv.
Link to one site is here
http://www.travelexpress.com.cy/en-us/
They are quoting about 24 euros from the airport to Paphos.
Footnote -
Thought... Travelling with the Limassol Airport Express bus to Limassol (direct from the airport) and THEN changing to Intercity buses to get to Paphos Town is a possible option. Just two buses.
