Larnaca Airport

Larnaca Airport to Nicosia by bus

Take Cyprus Public Transport route 425 into Larnaca and change at Archiep. Makariou C´ Ave. - Filiou Tsigaridi to Intercity Buses line 42, which almost always starts at that same stop and ends at Solomou Square in Nicosia.

Landing late, or missing the last bus

Intercity line 42’s last bus from Larnaca leaves hours before route 425’s last trip from the airport, and earlier at weekends, so a late-evening landing ends in Larnaca by bus.

Allow for passport control and baggage reclaim before counting on a bus: no bus here waits for a flight. If the last one has gone, Hermes Airports says taxis wait in the taxi area on the right as you leave the Arrivals Hall, around the clock.

Kapnos Airport Shuttle offers pre-booked shared transfers from the airport towards Nicosia.

Luggage, wheelchairs and pushchairs

  • On Cyprus Public Transport buses, including route 425, small luggage travels at the driver’s discretion and must not block the aisle; a full luggage space can mean waiting for the next bus.
  • Subject to space and the driver’s discretion, a bus carries one wheelchair or up to two buggies, prams or pushchairs. The priority area generally fits a wheelchair up to 120 cm long and 70 cm wide, and the driver may ask for pushchairs to be folded at busy times.
  • Guide dogs, hearing dogs and assistance dogs are carried at any time.
