The famous Cyprus resort of Limassol is quite conveniently located approximately in the middle between the two main international airports of this country, unless of course consider the territory of Northern Cyprus. Limassol occupies approximately the central position in relation to all major resorts and cities of the Republic of Cyprus.
It is noteworthy that with both international airports, and with other resorts, Limassol is connected using a long-distance bus message. It is also known that in some cases Limassol even is used as a transport hub for transfers along the path between different parts of the country.
When you fly to Limassol on the plane, then you can easily get there both through the airport in Larnaca and through the airport in Paphos. However, the airport located in Larnaca is still somewhat preferable, because more direct flights from the Russian Federation and from other countries arrive at it, and they are cheaper.
When you buy tickets, then definitely take into account the fact that if you plan to arrive in Cyprus on a pro-visa, issued online, then you must fly a straight flight from the Russian Federation. Moreover, flights with transfers even through European countries in this case are not suitable. But you can fly home with a completely any flight.
Flights from Russian airlines fly to Larnaca Airport in Larnaca, but also affordable flights with transfers to European cities that are suitable only if you have a paper visa on your hands.

However, in order to take advantage of a simple bus, you will need to make a hook and a transplant in Larnaca. It is also worth considering that buses in these options arrive in different places in the city, and therefore a simple long-distance bus for tourists will be much more convenient.
The Limassol Airport Express bus actually runs 16 times a day on a schedule, which can be clarified on the carrier's website. The passage costs 9 euros for adults and 4 euros for children under 12, in the way you will spend exactly one hour. Tickets for this bus can be bought at the rack in the arrival hall on the lower floor. This bus arrives in Limassol to stop "Agios Georgios Havouzas Church", which is 2 kilometers from the beach and essentially from the main resort area. So there will have to hire a taxi and approximately five euros to get to the place you need.

In the way, he holds an hour and a half, and the cost of the trip is 4 euros. This bus passes along the embankment and along the resort area along the way making several stops, and he finishes his movement near the harbor.
Pafos airport is 65 kilometers from Limassol. You can get from there all the same ways as in principle from the airport in Larnaca. For example, on a taxi that goes on fixed rates. In the center of Limassol, such a trip will cost you about 46 euros during the daytime and 54 euros per night.
You can also use a tourist shuttle service that can be in principle somewhat more expensive, however, it offers increased comfort with amenities and a guaranteed meeting of the driver at the airport. Transfer can be ordered online in advance.
From the airport in Paphos to Limassol, the express bus "Limassol Airport Express (PAPHOS)" is running, the passage in it costs 9 euros and it will be necessary to spend 1.5 hours in the way. Depending on the day of the week, the bus leaves from 3 to 5 times a day.

So it is unlikely to bother with him.
The easiest and most convenient way to get to Limassol from airports, as well as from other cities of Cyprus is a car rental. Moreover, it should be borne in mind that renting a car in Cyprus, if you do it in advance, it is quite inexpensive and Russian rights also operate here. Then, what is interesting - cameras on the roads of Cyprus almost almost not.
The cheapest opportunity to rent a car in Cyprus is to do it immediately after arrival in the country. Rent a car subsequently at the resort will be more expensive. Only when choosing the hotel, keep in mind that you will need to check the availability of parking. Also, pay attention to the fact that in the center of Limassol there are certain difficulties with parking, if you need for a long time.
In fact, there are very few free parking here, to a greater extent this paid parking lots with hourly payment in 1 euro per hour. Free places can be found only in the depths of the streets, and along the embankment all the parking lots are paid. Therefore, even in the most inexpensive hotels, knowing about this problem, parking spaces are distinguished for guests.
