Bus via Limassol Route
Another option is to take a bus or shuttle from Larnaca Airport to Limassol and then transfer to another bus heading to Paphos.
While this choice might not be as breezy as a beach day in Paphos, thanks to Cyprus’s hot & humid weather, especially in the summer, it’s a lighter load on your wallet.
However, remember that the bus from Limassol to Paphos may not drop you near your hotel, requiring an additional taxi ride within Paphos.
Shuttle from Larnaca to Limassol:
The shuttle service costs 10 euros for adults and 5 euros for children.
Just notice that there are not many shuttles daily, so ensure you have a shuttle when you arrive at Larnaca Airport and book it in advance.
