How to Get from Paphos Airport to Limassol

Did you know that Paphos and Limassol are less than 1h apart?

The best Paphos Airport (PFO) to Limassol transport option entirely depends on your budget, schedule, and (why not) comfort style. From my experience travelling across Cyprus, buses are the cheapest (but require more planning), while travelling by car is the fastest but most expensive. Even so, who doesn’t like a good door-to-door service?

Now, let me walk you through all the possible ways to get from PFO to Limassol, including travel time, prices, how to catch your transport, and all the pros and cons you don’t usually see in a typical guide.

What Are the Transport Ways to Get from Paphos Airport to Limassol?

Here are all the possible ways to travel from PFO to Limassol, with a quick comparison:

Heads-up: If you want to rent a car, you should know that Cyprus uses left-hand traffic (which doesn’t come as a surprise if you know a little bit of history).

How Far Is Limassol from Paphos Airport?

In a straight line, it’s 50 km. By road, the distance is a little bit bigger – 60 km.

Did you know? You’ll hear English everywhere in Limassol. Plus, most attractions are within walking distance, unless you want to visit nearby villages and wineries (which I highly recommend, btw). Just be prepared for extremely hot weather in summer.

Is There a Train/Tram from PFO to Limassol?

No, there are no trains, let alone trams, in Cyprus. All public transportation is provided by road.

Having travelled the PFO – Limassol route many times, I can say that buses, as the only public transport option, are really affordable. Plus, the motorway is well-maintained. The only drawback is that a bus ride takes way too long, not to mention the possible transfers between lines.

How Much Is a Taxi from PFO to Limassol in 2026?

Recent travel reports say standard airport taxis (that use regulated meters) will take you to Limassol for €70, give or take. But prices can easily go up.

The cost may vary, depending on day vs night tariffs, the exact destination in Limassol, extra luggage fees, and seasonal demand. So, there’s no fixed price, unlike AtoB private transfers.

How Do You Rent a Car from PFO to Limassol?

You can book a rental online or right at the airport when you arrive. Rental companies may have on-site desks at the Paphos Airport.

Don’t forget that rental rates start at €25 for economy cars plus fuel expenses. Next, you’ll be provided with two options:

• Either take the car one way to Limassol;
• Or, return the vehicle to Paphos Airport when you fly back.

Travel Tip: Book in advance for better rates, especially during summer. Plus, make sure to check for extra fees and fuel policy. Also, confirm whether insurance excess applies.

Seems like a lot of hassle for a simple bus ride to Limassol, right?

This is when I recommend going by car. And since taxis and rental cars may be quite expensive (and not as convenient as you might have wanted), private transfers seem like the perfect option.

Besides, you’ll be benefiting from all the perks of driving by car, minus all the unnecessary hassle, unexpected extra fees, and additional worries.
