Paphos airport transfers to the harbor and old town
Choose your transfer by the part of Paphos where you are staying. The harbor and the hilltop old town have different bus connections, while coastal hotels can leave you with an onward journey after the airport bus. Have your accommodation's full address ready before traveling, and check the current timetable against your flight arrival rather than assuming a bus will be waiting.

How each one works
Bus: Bus 612
Follow signs to the airport bus stop and check the current route and departure information for bus 612. It serves Kato Paphos and the Tombs of the Kings corridor. Confirm the best stop for your accommodation and the accepted payment method with the operator before traveling.
Bus: Bus 613
Take bus 613 toward Karavella bus station for the old town. Check the current airport departure times and payment arrangements with the operator. From Karavella, use your hotel's address to decide whether to walk or take a taxi for the final stretch.
Taxi: Airport taxi
Use the airport's designated taxi rank and show the driver your accommodation's full address. Confirm the fare arrangement before setting off, including any luggage requirements. This avoids changing vehicles if your hotel is beyond the central bus stops.
Private transfer: Prebooked airport transfer
Arrange collection directly with a transfer provider or your accommodation. Supply your flight number, destination and any child seat requirements. Follow the provider's meeting instructions and keep its contact details accessible in case your flight or baggage collection is delayed.
Arriving late or leaving early
Check the last airport bus before choosing public transport for a late flight. If your arrival falls outside service hours, arrange a taxi or transfer. For an early departure, confirm collection the previous evening and allow time for airport check-in as well as the drive.
Before you land
- Save your hotel's address and map location before flying. A property described as Paphos may be well beyond the harbor.
- Check the timetable for your actual travel day and direction, since an outbound airport journey may need a different departure time.
- For Coral Bay or Chloraka, compare a direct transfer with the airport bus plus an onward journey before choosing.
