Is there a Nicosia to Larnaca Train?

No, there is no train between the two locations. To be more specific, Cyprus does not have a functioning railroad. A line was built in the early 20th century, which served from Nicosia to Famagusta, but it was discontinued in 1951, due to financial reasons. Due to this, train travel is not an option when travelling in Cyprus, thus one will have to take the bus if they are inclined to travel with public transport.

Taking a Bus from Larnaca to Nicosia

There are frequent buses from Larnaca to Nicosia, running all day and 365 days a year. The company operating the bus lines is Intercity buses, who operate a number of different city-to-city bus routes in southern Cyprus. For the trip from Larnaca Airport to Nicosia, you will have to combine an initial airport bus to the centre of Larnaca, followed by the Intercity bus to Nicosia. Let’s have a look at the trip in a little more detail.

After collecting your baggage at the airport, and passing through passport control, head up from arrivals to departures, through the front doors of the airport, and towards the bus stop. You will need to locate the 425 bus towards Dekeleia, which will drop you off at the Finikoudes stop for your trip to Nicosia. This quick trip will cost €1.50, which needs to be paid directly to the bus driver, who will accept only cash. After arriving in Finikoudes, you can either directly board your Intercity bus, if it has arrived, or wait until it does.

The correct bus to Nicosia will be recognizable by the card in the front window, indicating its direction. When you board the bus, you will need to pay the driver directly, who once again accepts only cash. The ticket costs €4.00. After a 1 hour and 15 minute trip, you will have successfully arrived in Nicosia. Well done!

Various Transportation options Nicosia to Larnaca

Allow us to state it quite simply and as clearly as possible. Public transport = only by bus, Private transport = a lot of options. So, let us now discuss the private options, seeing as we have already exhausted the public ones. For simplicity’s sake, we shall say that there are 3 main private options, although you will likely be able to find many more if you look. The 3 are as such: taxis, car rental, and private transfers with AtoB. Allow us to elaborate on each a little more closely.

Taxis. A common mode of transportation for travellers seeking private transport, who have yet to be introduced to AtoB. The issue arising with taxis in Cyprus, is the tendency of drivers to overcharge for a simple trip. When it comes to a trip between two cities, you could be charged an enormous amount – No, thank you!

Now, rental cars. There are countless companies that provide you with the ability to rent a car, a number of which are worldwide providers you likely know from your home country. Nevertheless, you may be enticed to rent a car through one of many online platforms, who promise incredibly low daily charges. What will not be mentioned, until you actually get to the point of booking, is the large insurance deposit you will have to make. If you are not in the mood to give the rental company a couple of hundred euros “just in case”, then perhaps car rental is not the best for you. Not to mention navigating foreign roads can be a pain in the neck!

Finally, for those who appreciate travelling in style, we offer you an AtoB chauffeur-driven transfer, directly from Larnaca Airport to Nicosia. That’s right, we offer a door-to-door service, so we can take you anywhere you need to go in Nicosia, even the rural areas. You want to be dropped off in Vizakia or Psimolofou? No worries, your driver will take you straight there! That’s not all though, we offer attractive prices for a range of different vehicles, all of which can be customised to your travel preferences. What do you think?
