The two are 30 km apart, in a straight line. 40 km by road. Not that much, compared to other popular locations in Cyprus.
Unfortunately, no.
Although Cyprus once had a railway, it was closed more than 70 years ago for financial reasons. So, the only option to travel across the island by public transport is to take a bus.
You’ll have to take the local bus 613 to Karavela bus station (Paphos city) first, then catch one of the two intercity buses (645 or 641) to Polis.
You can catch route 613 at the bus station, right outside the arrivals terminal (follow the bus signs). It’ll take you to the Karavela Bus Station in Paphos city, from where you’ll take one of the two intercity buses to Polis.
Heads-up: A one-way ticket during the day will cost you between €1.50 and €2. A night ticket (after 21:00) will cost you €3.
| Monday - Sunday (from PFO to Karavela) |

After taking the line 613 to Karavela station in Paphos city, you have two options:
Option A: Route 645
This is the fastest and most popular route that runs almost hourly all year long, with a few exceptions on Sunday and during public holidays:
| Monday-Friday | Saturday | Sunday/Public Holidays |
|---|---|---|
| 06:20, 08:00, 09:00, 10:00, 11:00, 12:00, 13:00, 14:10, 15:00, 16:00, 17:00 18:00, 19:00, 20:00, 21:00, 22:00, 00:00 | 08:00, 09:00, 11:00, 13:00, 15:00, 16:00, 18:00, 19:00, 20:00, 21:00, 22:00, 00:00 | 8:00, 10:00, 12:00, 13:00, 14:00, 15:00, 16:00, 17:00, 18:00, 19:00, 20:00, 21:00, 22:00, 00:00 |
Option B: Route 641
The so-called “scenic route”. It’s a less direct ride, but it’s perfect if you want to enjoy some amazing views of mountain villages along the way.
You can buy all the bus tickets directly from the driver. So, always carry cash with you.

So, would you rather pre-book a private transfer in a matter of seconds and let AtoB take care of your travel, or deal with bus transfers after a light flight with luggage? Not to mention overpriced rental cars and taxis.

No, there’s no direct bus. You must travel through Paphos city first and take an intercity bus at the Karavela station.
The cheapest option is to take the public bus 613 from the airport to Paphos city, then switch to the intercity bus 645 to Polis. It’ll cost you €3.50 during the day and €5.50 after 21:00.
Less than one hour if you’re going by car, whether it’s an airport taxi, a rental car, or a private transfer. Travelling by bus will take a bit longer - from 1 to 2 h, depending on which intercity bus you take.
Even if renting a car is a much more flexible, convenient, and faster option, it is way more expensive than public transport. Up to €124/day plus fuel, compared to less than €6 in total for a bus ride with transfer.
Catching a bus is the cheapest but takes longer. So it makes more sense to go there by bar, and a private transfer is the most convenient option in terms of cost, time, and comfort.
