Bus 613 to the old town (Karavella)orKapnos shuttle from Paphos to Nicosia?

The short answer

These do not go to the same place, so price is not the comparison. The Bus 613 to the old town (Karavella) reaches Kato Paphos harbour and its medieval fort, with the old town of Ktima on the hill above; the Kapnos shuttle from Paphos to Nicosia does not. Goes to Nicosia, the capital, on the far side of the island — not to Paphos.

The Bus 613 to the old town (Karavella) is quicker: 25 min against 1 h 45.

Bus 613 to the old town (Karavella): 05:50–00:00. Kapnos shuttle from Paphos to Nicosia: 01:30–23:30.
