This doesn't last long. You need to get off at the stop nearby and walk a little forward.

By commuter bus around Cyprus
You can easily find bus schedules to the suburbs and villages. It is publicly available. Bus number 16 takes you to the ruins of the ancient city of Kourion. There is also Kourion beach, both refined and wild. And from this stop you can go to the amazingly beautiful and colorful mountain villages of the Limassol district - and. These are large villages with very beautiful architecture. Nearby there is the Caledonia Falls, to which a special hiking trail leads. But these villages are high in . It takes more than an hour to drive along the serpentine road. Drivers in Cyprus are very professional, there is no doubt about that. If you are not afraid of dizzying heights, then I advise you - this is, in fact, a very interesting excursion. The photographs will be simply unique, and you will never forget the views of the Trodoos Mountains. I don’t remember which bus goes there, but they will tell you or you can find it yourself in this schedule. We took a picture of him.
And in general, don’t be afraid to contact the locals if you speak at least some English. They are very friendly towards tourists, and especially towards Russians. Their English pronunciation is simple and the explanations will be clear. If you are really struggling with English, look for tourist information centers in cities and use city maps. In some cases, cards can be taken for free even at cafe counters. But even with a map and information there are always some local nuances. Like here in Russia, buses may be late, or there may be some unplanned surprises that we ourselves have not experienced. But for all our bus travels in 2015, and we did these tests as planned, only the bus to Paphos was late by 10 minutes. I tried to highlight some of the bus features so that your trip is not overshadowed by difficulties. If anyone has anything else to tell tourists about bus travel in Cyprus, write, it will help everyone a lot. Thanks in advance.
By bus in Cyprus: fare
About bus fares. Intracity ticket for a one-way trip costs 1.5 €. Not cheap, you'll agree. If you estimate that you will ride the bus more than three times during the day, and three times equals 4.5 €, then buy a day pass for 5 € (Ticket Daily). And also remember that the day pass is valid in the city until 21-00. Then another fee begins - 2.5 € for a single trip, and the pass is not valid.
What else would I like to add at the end of this brief review? This famous stop in Limassol, Old Port, from which buses depart, is very inconspicuous, and without knowing the city and not speaking any English, you can easily get lost right next to it.
When you arrive in the center in a thirty, the driver announces Old Port, Old Town, . You get off, but to get to that key stop you have to walk a little further in the direction of the bus you were on. The stop signs are a large anchor and a large beautiful tree opposite the roundabout. And another piece of advice: if you have time before the bus, cross the road. There is a small ice cream parlor there (there is a fake donkey nearby). There is simply the most delicious yogurt from a milling machine. And you can add toppings to it and they are so incredibly delicious! Add cherry jam, it's something! I haven't tried this anywhere else. This apparently is their famous “gliko” from the villages. Their hostesses definitely know the secrets!! The delicacy is not cheap (I think 3.5 €), however, like everything else in Cyprus. But pleasure from quality and taste is guaranteed, just like from everything in Cyprus. Have an easy journey and wonderful experiences. Good luck!!
