Full Description
Paphos Airport to Kato Paphos transfer: the easiest way to get there
When you land at Paphos Airport, the last thing you want is to work out how to get from the airport to Kato Paphos. A private airport transfer takes the question away: a Haqqi Tours driver is at arrivals when you walk out, your vehicle is parked minutes away, and the cost of the Paphos Airport to Kato Paphos transfer was fixed on WhatsApp before you left home. There is no airport taxi queue, no meter running in traffic and no negotiating a fare in a language you may not speak.
This page covers everything travellers ask about the Paphos Airport to Kato Paphos route: how far it is and how long it takes, whether an airport taxi, public transport or a private transfer is the better choice, what Kato Paphos in Paphos is like, where to stay and eat, when to travel, where you meet your driver at Paphos Airport, which vehicles we use and how the booking works.
Arriving at Paphos Airport (PFO)
Paphos International Airport (PFO) is a small terminal near Timi about ١٠ km south-east of Kato Paphos harbour, roughly ٢٠ minutes from the town, ٢٥ minutes from Coral Bay and ٦٥ km from Limassol.
Airports feel bigger after a long flight, and Paphos Airport is no exception. That is why your confirmation carries the exact meeting point for this airport, the driver's name and a phone number: when you walk out of arrivals you know where to look. The driver has been following your flight, so a late landing or a slow bag belt changes nothing about your Paphos Airport to Kato Paphos transfer.
Searches for "PFO to Kato Paphos" or "PFO airport transfer" land here for a reason: PFO is the airport code for Paphos Airport, and this is the private-car service that connects it with Kato Paphos.

Taxi or private transfer from Paphos Airport to Kato Paphos?
An airport taxi from Paphos Airport to Kato Paphos means finding the official rank, waiting your turn, and paying whatever the meter shows at the end - more at night, more in traffic, and sometimes more if the driver takes the long way. A private transfer from Haqqi Tours replaces all of that with one agreed price for the whole car, confirmed in writing on WhatsApp before you fly.
For one traveller with a small bag, a taxi or public transport can be a fair choice. For two or more people, a family with children, or anyone with real luggage, a private transfer is normally the cheapest way to get from Paphos Airport to Kato Paphos per person - and by far the easiest. Public transport to Kato Paphos involves changes, tickets and stairs; a private car goes to the hotel door.
There is also the question of trust. Our drivers know the hotels of Kato Paphos, work on a fixed price, and never take a detour or add a "special fare" at the end. Your booking is confirmed by a real person on a WhatsApp desk that works in Arabic and English, and that same desk is reachable throughout your trip.
Public transport from Paphos Airport to Kato Paphos: is there a bus, train or metro?
There is no railway in Cyprus; public buses link the airport with Kato Paphos and the town and suit a light traveller with a hotel near the harbour, while Coral Bay, Polis, Latchi and Aphrodite Hills, or a family with luggage, are much simpler by private car.
Many of our guests have tried the public route into Kato Paphos once and booked the car ever after. The difference is not only speed but effort: no ticket machines in a foreign language, no stairs with suitcases, no working out the last mile to the hotel. A private Paphos Airport to Kato Paphos transfer starts at the arrivals door and ends at the reception desk, and the fixed price covers the whole vehicle.
About Kato Paphos
Kato Paphos, the harbour and archaeological district on the coast, is about 10 km north-west of Paphos Airport. Kato Paphos is the lower town beside the sea, where the small harbour, the medieval fort and most of the tourist hotels meet the UNESCO-listed Paphos Archaeological Park. Roman villas here hold some of the finest mosaics in the eastern Mediterranean, and the Tombs of the Kings lie a short way north along the shore. The harbour front is lined with cafés, fish tavernas and boat-trip kiosks, while a paved promenade leads past the lighthouse to beaches on either side. Behind the water, Poseidonos Avenue carries shops, restaurants and hotels, so most visitors can walk everywhere.

Eating well after the Paphos Airport to Kato Paphos drive

Best time to travel to Kato Paphos
April to June and September to October are warm and comfortable; July and August are very hot and busy at the beaches; winters are mild with some rain; traffic drives on the left and the airport is at its busiest on summer afternoons and evenings.

Tell us the flight number and we allow for the real conditions on the day.
Meeting your driver at Paphos Airport
Where you meet your driver depends on Paphos Airport: a set meeting point inside arrivals, a designated exit, or a name board held just after customs.
