Travelling on a budget from Larnaca International Airport (LCA)? Cyprus has no train, but scheduled coaches and local buses connect the airport with the main towns for a low fare. They run to a timetable with limited late-night service and little luggage space, so they suit flexible, light-packing travellers more than late arrivals with big bags.
Main bus routes

| Service | Goes to | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| Kapnos Airport Shuttle / Intercity Buses | Nicosia & Larnaca | The capital and the town |
| Limassol Airport Express | Limassol | Direct coach to Limassol |
| Local Larnaca buses | Larnaca town & Finikoudes | Cheapest short hop into the city |
How it works
Coaches to Nicosia and the Limassol Airport Express pick up from the stops just outside arrivals, running to a published timetable with less service late at night. Local buses serve Larnaca town and the Finikoudes seafront for a low flat fare. Tickets are usually bought from the driver or online; the currency is the euro (€). Because the airport is only about 4 km from Larnaca town, a short local bus or a quick taxi both work well for the city.
Is the bus right for you?
- Choose the bus if: you want the lowest fare, are travelling light, and your timing is flexible.
- Choose a taxi or transfer if: you have heavy luggage, are arriving late, or are travelling as a group — see our airport taxis and private transfers.
- Ayia Napa & Protaras: direct public buses are limited; a seasonal shuttle, a transfer or a taxi is usually the practical choice.
Bus routes, fares and timetables change, so check the current schedule locally or with your provider close to your travel date. For all the ways across the island side by side, see our guide to getting from the airport.
