Paphos People

As you are probably aware, I have just been to the UK, but in order to get a reasonably priced flight, I decided to travel from Larnaca to Manchester, but returning from Manchester to Paphos. Because of this, I could not take my car to Larnaca, so decided to use the Airport Shuttle bus. Malcolm very kindly dropped me off at the Karavelle bus station in Paphos, and from there I got the bus - the driver loaded my bag on the bus for me, and we were away. €7 from Paphos to Limassol, and a very stress free journey it was - in fact, I was the only passenger . When we got to Limassol I got off the little bus, and was directed to a modern coach waiting to load. I put my own bags in the luggage compartment, and joined the rest of the passengers on the coach (maybe 12 of us in total), and paid my fare to Larnaca airport - €8. We picked up at one more stop in Limassol, then back onto the highway and off to Larnaca airport. We were dropped off outside departures at the airport, about 1 hour 45 minutes from me leaving Paphos.

The whole journey cost €15 and was totally stress free - I will certainly use it again, especially when the flight was €70 cheaper than from Paphos (as it was for me). Certainly a lot cheaper than paying around €100 for a thieving robbing taxi!!

Treat others as you want to be treated

Although this is a positive story for the bus and is good to hear, be carefull.
A close friend of ours used this service to come back from Larnaca to Paphos, late at night. (The last bus that day)
The bus left the airport from Larnaca and arrived at Limassol on time, no problem.
He then found that the shuttle from Limassol to Paphos had been cancelled and there would not be another until next morning leaving him stranded in Limassol for the night.
Fortunately there was another guy who needed to get back to Paphos that night so they shared a "thieving b'stard" cab.
