Why Choose Cyprus By Bus?
The Cyprus By Bus platform is the official gateway to the island’s public transport network. It provides real-time information, route maps, and fare details for all major cities, including Famagusta (Protaras/Ayia Napa), Larnaca, Limassol, Paphos, and Nicosia.1. Cost-Effective Travel
Taxis can be expensive, especially for long distances. With a standard single fare costing only €1.50 (daytime and correct at date of publish) and daily or weekly passes available for even deeper discounts, you can save your budget for what really matters—like a delicious traditional Meze dinner in Protaras.2. Seamless Route Planning
The website features a comprehensive “Journey Planner.” Simply enter your starting point and destination, and it will provide the exact bus numbers and schedules. If you are staying in the heart of Protaras, the 101 and 102 buses will be your lifeline, running frequently between Paralimni, Protaras, and Ayia Napa.3. Explore Beyond the Beach
While Protaras has some of the best beaches in Cyprus, the bus makes it easy to explore nearby gems. Hop on the bus to visit the stunning Cape Greco National Park or spend a day shopping in the local village of Paralimni.Quick Tips for Bus Travel in Cyprus
