Intercity Buses' own route 26 page, read on 6 October 2026 in a person's browser (the site refuses automated reading), prints the same departures: from Solomos Square 14 on Mon–Fri (04:45–19:15) and 9 on Sat–Sun (07:00–19:00); from the Karavella station in Paphos 14 on Mon–Fri (05:00–19:45) and 8 on Sat–Sun (08:00–18:30). In the data, 13 of the 14 weekday Nicosia departures start at Solomos Square and the page's 15:00 is the bus that starts at the Olympic Swimming Pool at 14:45 and is timed 15:00 at Solomos Square; the page's 05:00 and 05:30 from Paphos are the two data trips that end at Ave. Louki Akrita in Nicosia.

Good to know
Build the day around a specific departure in each direction.

- The published early weekday departure can suit an onward morning plan, but verify it before relying on it.
