Best Way to Get from Paphos Airport to City

The best way to get from Paphos Airport to the city center depends on the individual preferences of each traveler. If you’re on a tight budget and don’t mind a longer journey time, the bus is definitely a good option. The bus service runs every 1-2 hours and costs €1.50 per person – one way. On the other hand, if you prefer a faster and more convenient ride, a taxi may be a better option.

Taxis are readily available at the airport and will cost you around €25-30 for a one-way trip to the city center, although they can cost a lot more. However, for those who want the best of both worlds, a reliable transfer with AtoB may be the perfect solution. AtoB Transfer offers affordable prices while also providing comfortable and reliable rides, making them a great choice for those who want to travel in style without breaking the bank.

For travelers seeking the ideal fusion of ancient history, natural beauty, and contemporary entertainment, Paphos is a must-visit location. The city is rich in mythology and has several historical landmarks, including the Palace of Dionysus, the ancient city of Kourion, and the Tomb of the Kings, which is recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Not only that, but Paphos is also home to some of Cyprus’ most beautiful beaches, including Coral Bay and Lara Beach.

Getting a Bus from Paphos Airport to City Center

There are two buses that go between the airport and the center of the city, namely the 613 and 612, which go between the airport and old market and harbor station respectively. Depending on where your accommodation in Paphos is, you can choose either, although the 612 does leave more frequently than the 613.

After collecting your belongings and getting through passport control, you can head out of the airport, towards the parking lot, where the bus stop is also located. Buses in Cyprus are blue, and easy to locate from afar. Once you board the bus, you will need to pay the driver directly, who only accepts cash. The cost of a single ticket, regardless of which bus you board will cost €1.50. If you plan on using the bus a lot during your trip, you can also buy a daily, weekly, or even monthly ticket. These too are also only available from the driver.
