Whether you’re flying from Larnaca International Airport (LCA) or Paphos International Airport (PFO), getting there from Limassol is easier than many visitors expect. Cyprus has straightforward transport options between Limassol and both airports, making the journey relatively simple to organise.
The best option for you will mainly depend on your budget, the time of your flight, the amount of luggage you are carrying and whether you prefer public transport or a private journey.
Below are the two main ways to travel from Limassol to Larnaca or Paphos Airport.
The Limassol Airport Express is the most popular and budget-friendly option for travellers going from Limassol to either airport.
The service operates daily and provides a direct connection between Limassol and both Larnaca Airport and Paphos Airport. It is a practical choice for solo travellers, couples and anyone who wants to avoid the higher cost of a private taxi.
The main departure point in Limassol is:
Agios Georgios Havouzas Bus Station
The bus travels directly to the departures area of the selected airport, which makes the journey simple and convenient.
Limassol Airport Express details
- Departure point: Agios Georgios Havouzas Bus Station, Limassol
- Destination: Larnaca Airport Departures or Paphos Airport Departures
- Estimated journey time: Approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes
- Ticket price: Approximately €5–€10
- Schedule and booking: www.limassolairportexpress.eu
Before travelling, it is always a good idea to check the latest schedule online. Bus departure times may not match every flight, so plan your journey in advance and allow enough time to reach the airport comfortably.
During the summer season, the service may be busier, so arriving at the station slightly earlier can make the journey less stressful.
Taxi from Limassol to the Airport
A taxi is a more private and convenient alternative, especially if you are travelling with other people, carrying heavy luggage or departing very early in the morning or late at night.
Although it is more expensive than the airport bus, a taxi offers a direct journey from your accommodation to the airport. This can be particularly useful when you do not want to travel first to the bus station.
Taxi from Limassol to Larnaca Airport
- Estimated duration: Approximately 1 hour
- Estimated cost: €50–€60
Taxi from Limassol to Paphos Airport
- Estimated duration: Approximately 50 minutes
- Estimated cost: €60–€70
The final price may depend on the taxi company, your exact pickup point and the time of travel.
It is better to pre-book your taxi, particularly during busy periods. Booking in advance can help you avoid last-minute stress and allows you to confirm the expected price before your journey.
Which option should you choose?
For most travellers who want to save money, the Limassol Airport Express is the best choice. It offers a direct and affordable connection to both airports without the need to change buses.
A taxi may be more suitable when:
- you are travelling with a group;
- you have several suitcases;
- your flight is very early or late;
- you prefer a private journey;
- you want to be collected directly from your accommodation.
When travelling as a group, the cost of a taxi can also be divided between passengers, making it more reasonable.
Tips for travellers
- Check the airport bus schedule online before your travel day.
- Arrive at the bus station approximately 10–15 minutes before departure.
- Book early during the summer and other busy travel periods.
- Carry some cash for taxis or last-minute ticket purchases.
- Pre-book your taxi when travelling very early or late.
- Allow enough time for traffic and airport check-in.
- Confirm whether you are flying from Larnaca Airport or Paphos Airport before booking your transport.
Final thoughts
Travelling from Limassol to either Larnaca Airport or Paphos Airport is relatively straightforward.
The Limassol Airport Express is the most economical option and is suitable for the majority of travellers. It provides a direct journey from Limassol to the airport at a reasonable price.
For travellers who prefer privacy, have heavy luggage or need to travel outside the bus operating times, a taxi remains the most convenient choice.
Whichever option you choose, check the schedule or confirm your booking in advance so that you can arrive at the airport comfortably and on time.
