Getting Around Limassol
Use route 30 or 20 from the stop just outside the hotel. Validate your ticket onboard — inspectors are strict and fines are €20. A day pass (€3.50) is worth it if you're doing multiple trips.
Catch bus 412 (towards Limassol) from the airport. Get off at 'New Port' stop — the hotel is a 3-minute walk south. Don't rely on the driver for change; buy a reusable cyprus bus card at the airport kiosk.
Book through Kapnos or Welcome Pickups online for a fixed rate. Avoid unlicensed drivers at the arrivals hall — they often charge double.
Hail one on the street or use the nTaxi app (works like Uber). Always confirm the fare upfront — meters are not always used. A short hop around town should not exceed €10.
