Likewise, it shows that you have to change to travel from Paphos Airport to Nicosia, viz:

"19:30

20:14 Depart from Paphos Airport (Paphos) Bus Stop
and get on bus route Limassol Airport Express (Paphos) towards Agios Georgios Havouzas Church (Limassol)
Estimated journey duration is 00:44.

20:23
Travel By Bus
20:29 Change at Agios Georgios Havouzas Church (Limassol) Bus Stop
and get on bus route Intercity Bus Limassol - Paphos towards Spyrou Araouzou - Old Harbour (Limassol)
Estimated journey duration is 00:05.

21:04
Travel By Bus
22:51 Change at Spyrou Araouzou - Old Harbour (Limassol) Bus Stop
and get on bus route Intercity Bus Nicosia - Limassol towards Dionisiou Solomou Square (Nicosia)
Estimated journey duration is 01:47.

22:51 Arrive at Nicosia General Hospital (Latsia) Bus Stop"

If you prefer, there’s a Garos run from Larnaca to Lourougina. You get to climb on Kurupet’s back while your luggage goes on Yialoser’s.

They only charge a few piastres but it’s a bit slow unless you shove a carrot up their bum.

I have here http://www.intercity-buses.com/index.ph ... category=1
Do not make that rely that you will catch a bus to the other station even though it says that Bush stops along the way because you happen to pass the bus is full and you just wave and say I'm full of it don~t think to send the following while you are waiting for the last one.

Well I am not sure if this is happening in every European country, but is waiting 45 minutes for the bus with the route you want to take normal?

Timetables are available. I agree that the frequencies of a lot of the routes are not very high compared to what is normal in many European cities, but the buses are unfortunately hardly packed, either.
