This is an alternative route to the Larnaka (Larnaca) – Lefkosia (Nicosia) excursion or vice versa and goes past the village of Athienou in the Mesaoria plain.
The 60 kilometres route begins at Larnaka Port roundabout and heads west along Stratigou Timagia Avenue until the Tsakkilero traffic lights where it turns right towards Aradippou, heading northwest.
It goes through Aradippou, under the motorway to Paralimni and, keeping in the same direction, skirts the village of Avdellero before reaching Athienou. From Athienou the route turns south on to the old Lefkosia – Larnaka road up to the junction of the road to Lympia on the right heading west. From Lympia it passes through the villages of Dali and Nisou, goes under the Lefkosia – Lemesos (Limassol) motorway and through the villages of Kotsiatis and Margi. The route then turns north, going through Tseri and ending at the Tseriou Street roundabout in the Kokkines area just outside Lefkosia.
