Practical tips
Piraeus, Rafina and Lavrio are irrelevant here: this route is by air. If you arrive in Athens by ferry, make sure you know which port you land at, then plan your transfer to the airport.
Just like summer ferries to the islands, seats on popular flights fill up in high season. Book online as soon as your dates are fixed to get a wider choice of times and fares.
Strong winds can delay or cancel crossings. If you return to Athens by boat before flying, keep a generous gap, ideally a night in Athens, so a late ferry does not make you miss your flight.
Cyprus has more than one airport. Before paying, confirm which one your flight lands at and plan the onward road transfer to Limassol so you are not caught out on arrival.
Low fares often include only a small cabin bag. If you travel with a backpack or suitcase, compare fares with checked baggage included before booking, so the final price holds no surprises.
The journey experience
Getting from Athens to Limassol is a different kind of Greek journey: there is no island-hopping puzzle to solve and no ferry timetable to decode. The only option listed for this route is a flight, so the decision is made for you, and you can spend your energy on the fun part of the trip instead of on comparing boats, coaches and trains.
Flights link Athens with Cyprus on a regular basis, and the route is served by airlines you will probably recognise from other European trips. You check in at Athens International Airport, which is well connected to the city, and you skip the question of which Athens port to use altogether. Cabin comfort is standard short-haul, with hand luggage usually included in the base fare and a checked bag often sold as an extra. Note that the flight may land at Larnaca or Paphos airport, so check the arrival airport before you book, then continue to Limassol by road.
My advice: check the price and duration shown in the table on this page, then book early if you are travelling in summer, when seats fill up fast. Compare fare conditions, baggage rules and arrival airport rather than the headline price alone. Booking online gives you instant confirmation, which is reassuring when you are linking this trip to ferries or other connections in Greece. Leave a comfortable buffer after any ferry that brings you back to Athens.
