The Difference Between The Two Service

Basically, one departs from Paphos Airport and one departs from the main bus station (Karavella Bus Station) in old town Paphos.

The service from Paphos Airport to Larnaca Airport is not direct and you need to change at Limassol.

The service from Paphos ‘Karavella’ Bus Station is direct.

Obviously, if you are landing at Paphos Airport and need to get to Larnaca Airport straight away, you are best to catch the service from Paphos Airport. If you are landing at Paphos Airport and are visiting Paphos for a while and then wish to get from Paphos to Larnaca Airport, you may wish to consider catching the coach from ‘Karavella’ the main bus station in Paphos.

Here is why:

Catching the bus from Paphos Airport to Larnaca Airport requires one change in Limassol. However, if you wanted to catch the direct bus from Karavella bus station in Paphos, you would first need to catch a bus from Paphos Airport to Paphos Harbour and then another bus from the bus station at Paphos harbour to Karavella bus station in the old town of Paphos! This means it would take much longer and you would be catching three buses as opposed to two. Also, there is simply no point going all the way into Paphos in order to come back on yourself.

However, if you are staying in Paphos and need to get to Larnaca Airport by bus, you have two options.

  1. You can either catch the bus from Kato Paphos or Paphos Harbour bus station to Karavella bus station in Paphos old town and then catch the direct bus from Paphos to Larnaca.
  2. You can catch the 612 Paphos Airport bus from Kato Paphos or Paphos Harbour bus station to Paphos Airport and then catch the Paphos Airport to Larnaca Airport bus.

Please Note: Depending on where you are staying in Paphos, will determine which is the best option for you. This is because if you are staying in certain parts of Kato Paphos, it will be easier to catch the 612 bus to the airport rather than have to catch a bus to the harbour and then another bus to Karavella bus station in the old town of Paphos.
