Paphos International Airport

Paphos International Airport is about 15 km (9 miles) southeast of central Paphos, near the villages of Timi and Acheleia. The drive to Kato Paphos or the town center usually takes 20 to 25 minutes. Buses 612 and 613 take around 30 minutes, and taxis and pre-booked cars wait outside the terminal.

Yes. Pafos is the spelling Hermes Airports and Cypriot authorities use, while Paphos is the traditional English spelling. Both names, and the code PFO, refer to the same airport, the only commercial airport in western Cyprus. Larnaca (LCA), in the southeast, is the island's other international airport.

Paphos has one passenger terminal, opened in November 2008, with 28 check-in desks and seven gates. Every scheduled and charter flight uses it, so there is no terminal to choose and no transfer between buildings. Arriving passengers all exit into the same arrivals hall after passport control, baggage claim and customs.

Yes. Local buses leave from the stop opposite the terminal: route 612 runs to Kato Paphos and the harbor area, and route 613 to Karavella station in the town center, in about 30 minutes. Services are reduced in winter and late in the evening, and Coral Bay and Polis need a change of bus in town.

The Limassol Airport Express coach runs scheduled services between the airport and Limassol, taking about 45 to 75 minutes. Its main Limassol stop is at Agios Georgios Havouzas, outside the historic center. A taxi or pre-booked car takes you straight to your hotel, about 60 km (37 miles) to the east.

Yes. Kapnos Airport Shuttle runs scheduled services from Paphos airport to Nicosia and Larnaca, though some trips involve a connection and they run only at set times. The Nicosia shuttle ends at the Kapnos station on Kyrenias Avenue rather than the city center, so plan onward travel from there.

Official taxis wait at the taxi stand directly outside the arrivals hall. They go door to door to Kato Paphos, the town center, Coral Bay, Peyia and farther afield, and are the simplest option with luggage if you have not booked ahead. Ask the driver to confirm the fare before you set off.

Jet2.com, easyJet, TUI Airways and British Airways carry most UK passengers, from London and many regional airports. Ryanair flies to dozens of European cities, Wizz Air to Warsaw, and Aegean Airlines to Athens. Israeli airlines serve Tel Aviv and Haifa, and Lufthansa, Transavia and TUI fly seasonal routes to Munich, Amsterdam, Paris and Brussels.

Yes, you go through passport control. Cyprus is in the European Union but not in the Schengen area, so every arriving passenger is checked at the border. EU citizens can use a valid national ID card, while others need a passport. The EU Entry/Exit System does not operate in Cyprus, and non-EU passports are still stamped.

Yes. The Premium Lounge is in the departures area opposite Gate 7, after security. It opens two hours before scheduled flights and welcomes passengers of any class of travel, either through an eligible ticket or membership or by paying at the door when there is space.

Yes. International and local car rental companies have desks in and around the arrivals hall. Some hand over cars on site, while others take you to a depot nearby, which can add waiting time late at night. Remember that Cyprus drives on the left, and check the fee if you plan to return the car at Larnaca.

Hermes Airports runs the official parking lots: P1 for short stays and for meeting arriving passengers, the covered P2 for long stays, and the uncovered long-stay lots P3, P5, P6 and P7. All are self-park, and you can book a space ahead online through the Hermes Airports website.

Paphos, like the rest of Cyprus, is on Eastern European Time, UTC+2, and moves to UTC+3 for daylight saving time from the last Sunday of March to the last Sunday of October. That is two hours ahead of the UK and one hour ahead of most of continental Europe all year.
