BlaakLane.com runs chauffeur service in Limassol for transfers from Larnaca (LCA) and Paphos (PFO) airports, cruise passengers at the Limassol port terminal, shipping and finance travellers along the seafront, and day trips to Nicosia and the Troodos. The booking engine shows a fixed fare before you confirm. Trips are driven by a vetted local affiliate; the confirmation names the operator and chauffeur.
Which airport should you fly into for Limassol?
Limassol sits roughly midway along Cyprus's south coast, with no passenger airport of its own. Larnaca International (LCA), about 65 to 70 km east, has the widest choice of flights and is the usual gateway for business travel. Paphos International (PFO), about 60 to 65 km west, handles many seasonal and low-cost routes. Either way the transfer typically takes 45 to 55 minutes on the motorway, so pick the flight that suits your schedule rather than the airport. Both are run by Hermes Airports.
How to book and what the fare covers
Enter the flight number as the pickup, your Limassol hotel or office as the drop-off and choose a vehicle. The fixed fare includes the chauffeur, fuel and included waiting. There is no meter. Our 24/7 desk in Toronto dispatches the trip to a vetted Cypriot affiliate working to the BlaakLane.com written standard. For a crew change, a board meeting with several arrivals or a wedding at a hillside venue, a coordinator plans the movements and confirms them in writing.
Pickup at Larnaca and Paphos
Both airports have a single passenger terminal. Standard pickup is curbside at the designated pre-arranged pickup area outside arrivals; your chauffeur messages the bay and vehicle once you land. A meet and greet inside the arrivals hall with a name board is an add-on, and add-ons are only available in selected locations. Every airport pickup is flight-tracked. Included waiting is 60 minutes from landing for international flights (nearly every arrival in Cyprus), then 15-minute blocks.

The A1 connects Limassol with Nicosia, the A5 branches to Larnaca and the A6 runs west to Paphos. Cyprus has no motorway tolls.
Left-hand driving and local road habits
Cyprus drives on the left, and most cars are right-hand drive. Motorways are good, but the coastal road through the tourist area of Germasogeia and the Amathus strip is slow on summer evenings, and the Makarios Avenue and Spyrou Kyprianou corridors in the city fill at rush hour. Speed and red-light cameras are widespread. Chauffeurs plan airport runs with a margin, especially on Friday afternoons and late-summer weekends.
Limassol's cruise terminal and port
Cruise ships berth at the passenger terminal in Limassol New Port, operated by DP World, a few kilometres west of the old town. Your chauffeur collects you at the terminal pickup area; the drive to Limassol Marina or the old town takes about 10 to 15 minutes, and to Larnaca Airport about 50 to 60 minutes for turnaround passengers. Terminal information is on the DP World Limassol site. Port days suit a half-day car to Kourion, Kolossi Castle and the Omodos wine villages.
Shipping, finance and the seafront business district
Limassol is one of the Mediterranean's largest ship-management centres, with many owners and managers along the seafront and in Agios Athanasios. That means seafarers joining and leaving vessels, superintendents visiting ships and repeat airport runs at odd hours. Our shipping crew change team handles crew lists, joining schedules and invoicing. Fintech, forex and professional-services firms occupy the towers along the seafront, and visiting executives usually book executive chauffeur service for a day of meetings between Limassol and Nicosia.
Hotels, marina and venues
Limassol Marina, beside the old port and the medieval castle, has apartments, restaurants and berths for large yachts. The Molos promenade runs east along the sea. Resort hotels line the coast toward Amathus: the Four Seasons Limassol, the Amara, the Royal Apollonia and, further east, the Parklane resort. City of Dreams Mediterranean, the large integrated casino resort, sits near the western edge of the city by the motorway. For weddings, the wineries and chapels around Omodos, Lofou and Vouni are popular, which is where a Sprinter or partner Rolls-Royce comes in. See the fleet and wedding limousine.
Day trips and meetings beyond Limassol
Nicosia, the capital, is under an hour away on the A1 and holds the ministries, the central bank, law firms and the diplomatic missions, so a return day from Limassol is common for lawyers and bankers. An hourly chauffeur service booking keeps the same car and chauffeur through a morning of meetings and an afternoon flight from Larnaca. Inland, the Troodos Mountains rise within 45 minutes: Platres, the painted Byzantine churches of the Marathasa valley and, in winter, the small ski area at Mount Olympus. West of the city, the ancient site of Kourion sits on a cliff above Curium beach, with Kolossi Castle and the Commandaria wine villages close by. Paphos, with its mosaics and harbour, is 50 to 60 minutes along the A6. For a full day away, the chauffeur waits at each stop, and the fixed fare for the day is shown before you book. Families travelling with young children can request child seats at no charge.
Annual events
- February or March: Limassol Carnival, the island's largest, with parades in the ten days before Orthodox Lent.
- March: the Limassol Marathon along the seafront.
- May or June: Kataklysmos, the festival of the flood, at Pentecost on the seafront.
- Late August to early September: the Limassol Wine Festival in the municipal gardens.
Dates move with the Orthodox calendar; Visit Cyprus posts each year's schedule.
Entry notes for Cyprus arrivals
Cyprus is an EU member but not in the Schengen area, and it does not operate the EU Entry/Exit System, so non-EU visitors still have passports stamped at Larnaca and Paphos. Flights from Schengen countries pass passport control on arrival. ETIAS has not launched yet; when it does, Cyprus is expected to apply it. Travellers arriving in the north through Ercan should know that the Republic of Cyprus does not recognise it as a legal point of entry; plan southern airports for Limassol.
Cancellation terms
Free cancellation more than 72 hours before pickup; 10% at 72 hours or less; 50% at 48 hours or less; 100% at 24 hours or less or for a no-show.
