Kapnos Airport Shuttle to NicosiaorFixed-fare taxi to Finikoudes?

The short answer

These do not go to the same place, so price is not the comparison.

Goes to Nicosia, the capital, 45 minutes inland — not to Larnaca.

The Fixed-fare taxi to Finikoudes is quicker: 10 min against 45 min.

Kapnos Airport Shuttle to Nicosia: 02:15–00:45. Fixed-fare taxi to Finikoudes: Runs all night.
