Days out where the return is the plan

  • A day in the Troodos EMEL’s rural corridor serves the area; confirm the return direction before leaving Limassol.
  • Cape Greco and Konnos Routes 101 and 102 run on a seasonal timetable; check the way back before leaving the resort.
  • Kourion Route 16 ends at Kourion Beach; the way up to the ancient site is a separate check.
  • Beach days by bus Plan the return before relying on a seasonal or rural service.

A weather reading says nothing about whether a bus is running. The operator’s own page is the place to check today’s service.
