We arrive at Larnaca airport (11:15am Wednesday) and want to get to Chlorakas, near Paphos. We are not staying at a hotel/resort, so no transfers included. I read there is a bus via Lemosos and have printed out the timetable from the tourist info site. Is this bus reliable/ it turns up/ runs to time/ not packed to the door/ bun fight? Any other suggestions, as a taxi has quoted us 100 euros one way (bit much for two Aussies!)
Thanks for your help!

The airport bus has so far proved reliable, comfortable and quick but you need to be sure of the current timetable - ring them up on the number on the timetable to check you%26#39;ve got the right one.
I don%26#39;t know about the %26#39;bun fight%26#39; angle. There%26#39;s certainly no problem out of main season.
However, it only goes to the main bus station in Paphos so you%26#39;d still need to get transport from there, (more like 8 Km than 145 - so a taxi should be a little cheaper but still feel expensive!) If you%26#39;re on the sea front there is a bus which runs there from the bus station.

Is it not possible for you to hire a small car? Driving is very very easy in Cyprus and the route from Larnaca to Paphos is very straightforward. Certainly taxis are expensive but given the choice I would much prefer to pay a fixed taxi rate of 100 euros (that doesn%26#39;t seem too unreasonable bearing in mind I have to pay 60 euros for a 40 minute journey from Larnaca to my destination) than to sit on a bus from Larnaca to Paphos - you will be shattered by the time you reach Chlorakas!

I have sent you the timetable for the shuttle

Thank you for your advice. Happy travelling

I%26#39;ve no idea why Kath suggests you would be shattered from taking the bus. It%26#39;s always easier to sit on a bus than to drive - even though the driving is easy.
The bus is good and comfortable, will cost 28 Euros for 2 of you.
Sit back, watch the countryside or snooze!

Only because I%26#39;ve had experience of sitting on buses in Cyprus and I don%26#39;t find them very comfortable at all. If its a luxury coach with air conditioning then fine but my only experience has been on fairly basic transport. I haven%26#39;t used the bus service from Larnaca to Paphos so apologies if speaking out of turn.

Hallo Kath
Luxury coach to Limassol.
Smaller coach to Paphos (I presume that%26#39;s part of the reason they change in the middle.)
No complaints to us from anyone who has been on it - so I hope I don%26#39;t get proved wrong in the future!
(Incidentally, sorry if my previous post looked a bit %26#39;harsher%26#39; than intended. Curious, the effect of writing things in brief format.)

No problems. Do you know if the shuttle bus run from Larnaca to Protaras/Pernera?
|||
Sorry for the delay; just back from ski-ing in Norway. A bit of a change from Cyprus!
I don%26#39;t think there is a shuttlebus to Protaras/Pernera. The ones started up last year were to Nicosia and Limassol/Paphos. There are local buses into Larnaca.
