Hi can anyone give me a step by step route from Ledra street crossing to where the shuttle bus to Larnaca Airport goes from please. A simple guide for an idiot would be good.

I have seen posts which say you just cross the boarder and catch the bus????? I went looking and couldn't find a bus!!!!

I did it a week ago. Walk through the Ledra street crossing and keep going on the Greek side until you come to a T junction. Turn right and after about 500 metres there is a bus station on the left. Catch the number 158 or 160 to the Kapnos Air shuttle base (it is on the left of the main road). The bus in Nicosia costs 1 euro. The shuttle bus 7 euros.



(The only difficulty is getting off the 158/160 at the correct stop. On my journey the driver forgot to tell me I was there and I ended up near Ikea and had to catch a bus back.)

Hi Halfull (like your name).



The other way, which I have done a few times and is also easy is at t junction turn right and walk down till you come to bus stop (I think a bit further down than the other one - but walking distance).



Then catch the intercity bus http://www.intercity-buses.com/ it drops you to Larnaca sea front, then get a one euro bus from there to airport..
