A contract worth €6.38 million plus VAT has been signed for the construction of Larnaca’s central bus station, marking a new step in efforts to upgrade public transport infrastructure in the district.
The agreement was signed on Friday at the Ministry of Transport, with construction expected to begin around mid-May 2026.
Transport hub near Larnaca Marina
According to the ministry, the project forms part of efforts to promote sustainable urban mobility in Larnaca and strengthen public transport services.
The central station will be built on state-owned land in the Larnaca marina area, providing space for infrastructure development, improved traffic organisation and integration with surrounding developments.
Key connection point for multiple routes
The station has been designed to operate as a modern transfer hub, serving urban, intercity and regional bus routes, while also providing direct connections with Larnaca International Airport.
Officials say the infrastructure aims to reduce dependence on private cars and contribute to national and European targets for sustainable mobility.
Contract signing and project funding
The contract was signed on behalf of the Republic of Cyprus by Deputy Director of the Public Works Department Stelios Zervos, and on behalf of Iacovou Brothers (Constructions) Ltd by Alkis Iacovou.
Authorities described the agreement as an important milestone for a project expected to improve daily mobility for residents, reduce traffic congestion and enhance quality of life in Larnaca.
EU co-funded project
The project is being implemented under the Cohesion Policy Programme “THALIA 2021–2027”, with co-financing from the European Union.
Funding is covered through provisions of the Directorate General for Growth, with payments to be carried out by the Public Works Department.
