Rental car
A taxi LCA → Limassol runs €70-€85 depending on hotel area. Pre-booked shared shuttles from €13 per seat with advance booking.
Taxi and hire car prices are rough guides, for comparison.
What the ride is actually like.
Leaves LCA, joins the A1, and runs non-stop to Limassol's eastern outskirts before the St Nicolas drop. Off-peak the trip is 60 minutes; in Friday rush hour it stretches to 90.
Drop is east, not central
St Nicolas is at the eastern end of Limassol's seafront, fine for hotels along Amathounta, less convenient for the Old Town or Marina. Budget €8-€12 for an onward taxi if you're staying west.
Twenty-four hours
Even 02:00 has a service. Useful for late London or Moscow arrivals; the coach is rarely full at those hours.
Wi-Fi onboard
Functional Wi-Fi covers the whole journey, enough to message your hotel about late check-in.
Pay how you like
Cash or card to the driver, or pre-paid online. Receipts are issued on request for business travel.
Full timetable.
Direct from Kapnos Airport Shuttle. Departures from LCA arrivals curb.
Allow 60-90 minutes to St Nicolas. Plan extra time for Friday afternoon and Sunday evening peaks.
Heading back? Limassol → LCA. Mirrored hourly service from St Nicolas. Allow two hours before your flight closes, the A1 can crawl on weekday mornings.
Plan the return tripCommon questions.
Will it drop at my hotel?
No, it's a single stop at St Nicolas. From there, taxis queue at the roundabout (€8-€12 to most central hotels) or the 30 city bus loops the seafront.
Is the fare really €10?
Yes, fixed. Children under 6 free, 6-12 reduced.
How early to arrive at the airport?
Two hours before short-haul, three hours before long-haul. The 24/7 Kapnos service makes early flights painless.
Luggage?
Two cases per passenger in the hold, plus carry-on.
Better than a taxi?
For solo and couples, yes, €10 vs €75. For families of four, a taxi can work out similar; the bus still wins on traffic-jam fatigue.
Plan the door-to-door, not just the bus.
