What the coaches are like.
Cyprus is small. The longest scheduled trip is Nicosia to Paphos at 2 hours 15 minutes, and most rides are under 90 minutes.
Modern coaches
Mercedes Tourismo or Setra, late 2010s onward. Reclining seats, USB at most rows on the newer fleet.
Wi-Fi on the main lines
Free, and it works most of the time between cities.
Luggage goes free
One large suitcase in the hold plus a carry-on is the unwritten rule. No fee.
Sit on the right
Heading south from Larnaca, the road runs beside the sea. Right-hand seats get the Mediterranean from kilometre five.
Two airports, two ways onto the network.
Aloya joins the legs into one trip with one arrival time.
Paphos airport (PFO)
Route 612, a public bus every 20 to 30 minutes in daylight from arrivals to Karavella station, where every long-distance line leaves. €2.00 Motion, €2.70 cash.
Larnaca airport (LCA)
No direct intercity bus. Take the 425 city bus (€2.00 Motion, €2.70 cash, every 30 minutes) to Finikoudes, then the 45, 42 or 43.
Late arrivals
The Kapnos shuttle links both airports with the cities for €9 to €15. Aloya offers it when the public network has stopped for the day.
Common questions.
How much is an intercity bus in Cyprus?
€5.00-€8.00 cash by distance to the driver, on the Intercity Buses network: Larnaca ↔ Limassol (45), Nicosia ↔ Larnaca (42), Nicosia ↔ Limassol (25), Nicosia ↔ Paphos (26), Limassol ↔ Paphos (56) and Larnaca ↔ Ayia Napa (43).
Do intercity buses run on Sundays?
Yes, on a lighter Sunday timetable, usually every two hours instead of hourly, with the first bus around 08:00 and the last around 20:00. Aloya shows the Sunday times for each route.
Do I need to book in advance?
No. There's no online booking on the public network. Turn up at the stop and pay the driver.
Where do intercity buses leave from?
Each city has one or two named stops. Larnaca: Finikoudes seafront. Limassol: the New Port interchange and the Old Hospital stop. Nicosia: Solomos Square. Paphos: Karavella station. Ayia Napa: the central square. Aloya shows each stop on the map with the walk to it.
Can I get from the airport directly on intercity?
From Paphos, yes: route 612 runs into the city and connects to the network. From Larnaca, take the 425 city bus (or the Kapnos shuttle if you're going further) to Finikoudes and board the intercity there.
Which intercity routes have wi-fi?
Most coaches on routes 45, 42 and 25 advertise it and it usually works between cities. Expect a short gap in the Kalavasos tunnel and around the headlands.
