Limassol buses depart from Ayios Georgios Havouzas (off the Polemidia Roundabout), Nicosia passenegrs can pick up the shuttle from the Philoxenia Hotel while Paphos City Buses for the time being are working together with the sister company in Limassol carrying passengers to and from Paphos to Larnaca airport. There are two points of departure from Paphos, one from the Central Karavela Station and another from the small harbour of Kato Paphos, mainly to accomodate holidaymakers. Passengers are advised to make advance reservations.
