Limassol West, Pissouri turn-off and Yeroskipou. Don't get off unless you mean to, only Karavella is the proper terminus.

Folding bikes only; full bikes are not accepted on the 56.

How does it compare to driving?

About the same time. The B6 has only one lane each way most of the route, so a car doesn't save much.

Connect to the airport?

Yes, at Karavella, change to the 612 (€2.00 Motion card, €2.70 cash, every 30 min). The full Limassol → PFO trip is about €7.00–€9.70 with one change.

Last bus 20:00 weekdays. Plan ahead or take the Kapnos PFO–Limassol shuttle instead (24/7, €15).

Limassol to Paphos,
by the coast.

The cheapest fixed-price option between Cyprus's two western coastal cities. €5.00–€7.00 cash to the driver, seventy minutes on the B6 highway, hourly from early morning. Pulls in right next to Coral Bay connections.

Plate № 56. B6, late afternoon.

What the ride is actually like

Joins the B6 at Limassol's western edge and stays on it the whole way. Passes Pissouri, Petra tou Romiou (Aphrodite's Rock), and the Paphos archaeological park before dropping at Karavella.

01
Aphrodite's Rock on cue.
About forty minutes in, the bus passes the famous rock formation. Pissouri side, on your right. Most drivers slow slightly for the view.
02
Karavella is a real hub.
From Paphos's Karavella station, the 615 to Coral Bay, the 612 to PFO airport and other long-distance coaches leave from the same forecourt. Aloya plans the change automatically.
03
Smoothest route on the island.
The B6 has fewer trucks than the A1 and the curves are gentle. Motion-sensitive passengers tend to be fine on this one.
04
Wi-Fi inconsistent.
About half the 56 fleet has working Wi-Fi. Download an episode beforehand if you care.
