Bus times between Nicosia and Limassol

Intercity Buses' own route 25 page, read on 6 October 2026 in a person's browser (the site refuses automated reading), prints the same departures except one. Nicosia to Limassol (from Solomos Square) Sat–Sun, and Limassol to Nicosia (from New Port) on both day groups, match time for time (Limassol–Nicosia: 27 on Mon–Fri, 05:25–22:00; 22 on Sat–Sun, 05:25–22:30; the 05:25 is a separate Nicosia-bound trip in the data). Nicosia to Limassol on Mon–Fri has 27 departures on the page and 26 starting at Solomos Square in the data, all 26 at the page's times; the page's 14:15 (a route to North Limassol) is not in the data at that time, which has instead a North Limassol trip that starts at Kinyra at 14:10 and reaches Solomos Square at 14:18. The two are not matched. Check Intercity Buses' page for that bus.

Tickets & payment
Intercity Buses publishes paper and Motion-card ticket options.
- Buy a single paper ticket from the driver with cash; card payment is not offered on board.
- A personalized Motion e-wallet card is available from authorized sales points for discounted travel.
- Check the operator page before travelling because fares and ticket rules can change.
Good to know
The timetable changes shape at weekends and on holidays.
- Weekday service is denser than weekend service, so check both directions before a day trip.
- Choirokoitia is a genuine UNESCO Neolithic site rather than a motorway rest stop.
- Solomou Square and New Port are useful central-area hubs, but confirm the onward walk for your address.
