Lemesos (Limasol) Getting there & around

Getting around

The city bus station is located on Georgiou Gennadiou, close to the municipal market. Bus 1 goes to the port; buses 16 and 17 to Kolossi; and bus 30 runs northeast along the seafront and passes not far from the entrance to Ancient Amathous. The CTO gives out a useful timetable of urban bus routes.

Buses also run at 10am, 11am and 1pm from the castle to Ancient Kourion and its beach, via Episkopi (return CY£1.60, 30 minutes). Return times are 11.50am and 2.50pm. From April to October, there’s a daily Governor’s Beach bus (return CY£2, 20 minutes) that leaves from the Old Fishing Harbour at 9.50am, making stops at about 23 locations along the seafront, with the last one being at Le Meridien hotel. The bus returns at 4.30pm.

Lipsos Rent-a-Car (2536 5295; cnr Richard & Berengaria 6), opposite the castle, is the only car-rental place in the Old City. The tourist centre has many more rental agencies.
