About the Nicosia–Protaras Intercity Route
Nicosia to Protaras is served by specific Intercity route 23 variants rather than every Nicosia–Paralimni coach. Some trips travel through Ayia Napa and Protaras, while others terminate or route through Paralimni without serving the resort strip directly. The official Intercity Buses timetable lists the route 23 corridor at about 2 hr and marks which trips pass by Protaras. This page highlights only the official route variants that mention Protaras, so the map reflects the journey travellers actually need.
How Often Buses Run
Protaras services are more limited than the core Nicosia–Ayia Napa corridor, and availability can vary by season. Use the live map above to confirm an active Protaras-serving coach before leaving for the station, and keep a local Paralimni or Ayia Napa connection as a backup if your preferred trip is not running.
Tips for the Nicosia–Protaras Bus
- 1Check the route description carefully: not every route 23 trip goes to Protaras.
- 2If the direct Protaras variant is not convenient, travel to Paralimni or Ayia Napa and connect locally.
- 3Summer traffic around the resort strip can affect arrival times.
- 4For return trips, confirm the last Protaras-serving departure before evening travel.
