Walking from Larnaca Airport to the City Centre
Posted: April 16, 2025 | Tagged: Cyprus, Travel Hacks
Larnaca International Airport (airport code LCA) is just 6km southwest of Larnaca, Cyprus' 3rd largest city. 6km is walkable, even with my main bag. Hell, I have walked much further than that before. I have walked further than that before breakfast and then some. I like walking. Walking has kept me trim.
Why take a taxi when you can take a bus. Why take a bus when you can walk.
As a young man, I walked 1071 miles, 1700km from Land's End to John O'Groats in 58 days with just 4 days off at an average of 20 miles daily. The maximum I walked in one day was 32 miles, 50km. It took me 12 hours all with a 20lb (10kg) backpack.
Walking from Larnaca Airport to the centre, was a good way to save myself the bus fare, which according to the latest source, was 4.80€.
My flight from Athens landed just before 3 pm. I had a room booked. I was in no hurry. The sun was out. On the way, I got to see the Larnaca Salt Lake (the road goes right next to it) with a few pink flamingoes about 300m out.

Google Maps showed it at 5.8km. I was in town, knocking at the door of my hostel after 1 hour and 10 minutes. Just another day at the office!!
