What the ride is actually like.
The 425 leaves the airport curb, crosses the salt lake causeway past the Hala Sultan Tekke mosque, and pulls into the seafront via Kition. Quiet, air-conditioned, almost always seated even at peak arrivals.
Salt lake views, free
The route crosses the Larnaca salt lake, in winter, flamingos. Worth a window seat on the left.

Get off at Finikoudes for the seafront and Old Town, or one stop earlier at McKenzie for the beach bars and seafood.
