Independent Cyprus transport guide
Cyprus Bus Journey Planner
Search any address, hotel, resort or airport in Cyprus to compare bus routes, live departures and walking directions — built for tourists arriving at Larnaca or Paphos Airport as much as for daily commuters.
Getting from the airport by bus in Cyprus
Both Larnaca and Paphos International Airport have public bus stops just outside arrivals, with services running toward the nearest city and, via a connection, most major resorts. Type your hotel, resort or landmark into the planner above and it will find the nearest boarding stop, the walking route to it, and today's departures automatically.
Cyprus bus schedules are less frequent than in many European cities, especially in the evening and outside the summer season, so it's worth checking a return or onward time as soon as you land. If a bus connection would take too long or your flight lands late at night, compare it against a pre-booked airport transfer, taxi or car rental using the links below.

Tips for first-time bus travellers
- Most Cyprus buses accept contactless card payment on board; carrying some cash as backup is still a good idea.
- Luggage space is limited on regional and airport-connecting buses — a taxi or transfer is more comfortable with more than one large suitcase per person.
- Services thin out considerably at night and on Sundays; always check today's departures rather than assuming a fixed timetable.
- Save the walking-directions links on each route above — airport bus stops aren't always visible from the terminal doors.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a bus from Larnaca Airport to Ayia Napa, Protaras or Limassol?
Yes. Larnaca Airport connects to Ayia Napa, Protaras, Limassol, Nicosia and Paphos by bus, usually with one change in Larnaca town. Enter your hotel or resort as the destination above to see the exact stops and today's departures.
Is there a direct bus from Paphos Airport?
Paphos Airport has direct and connecting bus services toward Paphos town, Coral Bay, Limassol and Larnaca. Search your destination above to compare the fastest option.
How does the airport bus compare to a taxi or private transfer?
Public buses are usually the cheapest way to reach nearby towns from either airport, though they run less frequently than taxis or pre-booked transfers. If your flight lands late at night or you're travelling with a group or heavy luggage, a private airport transfer or car rental may suit you better — see the alternatives below the planner.
Do I need a Cyprus travel eSIM before I arrive?
It depends where you're travelling from — EU-based plans typically roam in Cyprus at no extra cost, while many other travellers buy a local eSIM on arrival for maps and live bus tracking. A few eSIM options are linked below.
Can I use this planner to find a private transfer or car rental instead of a bus?
Yes — if no convenient bus route is found, or you'd rather not wait for a connection, the "other ways to travel" section below links to airport transfer, car rental and tour options.
Are the bus times shown here live?
Where an official vehicle is currently reporting its position, a live ETA is shown on the matching route. Otherwise, times shown are the published schedule — always allow extra time for airport connections.
