Choose your Ayia Napa stop
Ayia Napa's accommodation stretches beyond the centre. The Intercity route serves stops around Nissi Avenue as well as the town area before continuing towards Paralimni. Find your hotel on the map and match it to the official stop list so you do not ride past the most useful stop.
Larnaca's current departure times are measured from Nikolaidis Building. The operator quotes roughly 75 minutes for the complete extended route to Paralimni. Treat the figure here as the whole-route allowance, not an exact travel time to every Ayia Napa hotel. Add the walk from the stop and time for traffic.
Decide whether you need the city connection
The Intercity adult cash single costs €5. If starting at Larnaca Airport, a direct airport shuttle may suit your arrival better than a local bus into Larnaca followed by Intercity. Compare the actual departure, luggage conditions and final stop before deciding on the lower-looking fare.
Local OSEA buses around Ayia Napa have their own fares and passes. A ticket for that network should not be assumed to cover Intercity or Kapnos airport travel. Carry cash and read the product's coverage before buying several days at once.
Keep the beach plan close to your room
After arrival, choose a nearby beach or a short town walk. Nissi Beach, the centre and Cape Greco are separate parts of a stay, not one compact stop. Save Cape Greco for a day when you have planned the onward bus, walking and return.
If you are only visiting for the day, choose a beach or the centre as the main destination and save the return departure before leaving Larnaca. Do not add a long coast walk that depends on catching the last bus. The Ayia Napa guide explains the trade-off between beach access and evening noise.
