Rental car
A taxi Limassol → Ayia Napa runs €100-€120. Going via Larnaca on the bus is roughly the same time as driving direct.
Taxi and hire car prices are rough guides, for comparison.
What the ride is actually like.
Joins the A1 east out of Limassol, follows it past Larnaca's bypass, then transitions onto the A3 and the coast road into Ayia Napa. One brief Larnaca pickup, otherwise non-stop.
Three departures daily
Limited frequency, check the live timetable before you commit to the trip. If you miss one, the next is two-plus hours away.
Brief Larnaca stop
About forty-five minutes in, the coach pulls into Larnaca's central interchange to pick up. Don't disembark; the bus continues.
Alternative: change buses
If the 35 schedule doesn't fit, take the 25 to Larnaca (€5.00-€7.00, hourly) and connect to the 43 to Ayia Napa (€5.00-€6.00, hourly). More frequent.
Protaras add-on
From the square, the local 102 leaves for Protaras every 30 minutes. Aloya plans both legs as a single trip.
Full timetable.
Direct from Intercity Buses. Times are departures from Limassol New Port.
Allow 90-110 minutes. Sunday service even sparser, plan in advance.
Heading back? Ayia Napa → Limassol. Three daily, mirrored. Last departure around 19:30. The 43 + 25 alternative is more frequent if you miss it.
Plan the return tripCommon questions.
Why so few departures?
Most Limassol residents drive or take the 25 + 43 chain via Larnaca. The 35 exists for those who prefer one seat, but the chain is more frequent.
Is the direct really faster?
About ten minutes, not a meaningful difference. Take whichever fits your timing.
Big suitcases?
Two per passenger in the hold, free.
Motion card?
Intercity buses charge €7.00-€8.00 cash by distance to the driver.
Children?
Half price 6-12, free under 6.
Plan the trip before you leave the house.
Aloya shows the 35 alongside the 25+43 chain in one screen so you take whichever leaves next, and warns you about the last return.
