Best Way to Get from Larnaca Airport to City Center

Although we may be trying to subtly convince you that booking an AtoB transfer is your best option, we still need you to have a good look over all the possible transportation options and make up your own mind. For some travellers, their best option really is to take the bus, due to its affordability, whereas for others guaranteeing they can comfortably get themselves and their luggage or equipment to their hotel is more important. This is when booking a transfer with us is the best option.

If you travel to Larnaca, Cyprus, you will be in for a wonderful treat! There are innumerable things to discover and enjoy in this lovely city, which has a deep, rich history and culture dating back many thousands of years. There are numerous sights to behold and activities to take pleasure in, whether you decide to stroll along the lovely Larnaca Bay promenade, wonder at the numerous archaeological sites, or head to the crowded Makenzy beach for a top-notch meal and beverages.

Getting a Bus from Larnaca Airport to City Center

When it comes to public transportation in Larnaca, you will have to rely on the buses, as they remain the only option available. Cyprus doesn’t currently have a metro or tram system, and the train service ceased operations in 1951. Fortunately the bus is both cheap and convenient, as there are numerous departures during the day, although for travellers arriving at night this may prove to be an issue. There are a couple of routes that run at night, but these are spaced apart by at least 3 hours.

After collecting your luggage and getting through passport control, head upstairs to the departures lounge, and outside to the bus stop. Although there are buses and shuttles on the arrivals level, they are all privately run, and most provide transportation between cities, rather than within the city.

In total, there are 6 routes which service the airport and city, with the number 407 being the most convenient. Tickets cost only €2.00 and can be bought directly from the bus drivers. Buses in Cyprus only accept cash payments, as card and contactless payments have still not been introduced.

The most convenient stop to alight at is Finikoudes, which is the main beach strip in Larnaca. From there you will likely be able to get to your accommodation or hotel easily.

Distance from Larnaca Airport to City Center

As it is in the same town, which is relatively small (as is Cyprus), the distance is short at only 5 kilometres.

Various Larnaca Airport to City Center Transportation Options

Well, as we have seen, there is the bus, which is cheap and handy, or you can perhaps opt for renting a car or hailing a taxi. When renting a car, although it can be useful for traveling around the island on your own schedule, it can be challenging to drive on the other side of the road (if left is not your standard side to drive on), as well as inconvenient to pay for the oftentimes expensive insurance waivers.

Taxis on the other hand, are cheaper in comparison, but can still be expensive when there is traffic or other road congestion. Aside from these 3 main options, you are then left with AtoB, or walking!
