Good to know
- No seat reservations — just turn up at the departure stop. Luggage travels free.
- Departures are more frequent on weekdays; the last coach of the day often leaves early in the evening, so check the route timetable.
- Intercity coaches don't call at the airports — connect via Larnaca's central station (city route 425) or use an airport shuttle.
- Track your coach on the live map to see if it's running late before you head to the stop.
