Paphos Airport to Paphos City Centre transfer: the easiest way to get there
The best way to get from Paphos Airport to Paphos City Centre depends on what you are carrying and who you are travelling with, but for almost everyone arriving with luggage, family or after a long flight, a pre-booked private transfer is the answer. Haqqi Tours' Paphos Airport to Paphos City Centre airport transfer is met at arrivals, priced in advance and driven by someone who does this route every week.
This page covers everything travellers ask about the Paphos Airport to Paphos City Centre 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 Paphos City Centre 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 Paphos City Centre transfer.
Searches for "PFO to Paphos City Centre" 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 Paphos City Centre.

Taxi or private transfer from Paphos Airport to Paphos City Centre?
The airport taxi fare from Paphos Airport to Paphos City Centre is unpredictable: meters, night tariffs, tolls and traffic all move it, and you only learn the total at the door. A pre-booked Paphos Airport to Paphos City Centre transfer is the opposite - one fixed cost for the vehicle, however long the drive takes, with the price agreed before your trip.
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 Paphos City Centre per person - and by far the easiest. Public transport to Paphos City Centre 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 Paphos City Centre, 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 Paphos City Centre: 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.
If you are weighing the Paphos Airport to Paphos City Centre options, think about the last kilometre. Trains and buses stop at stations; hotels are somewhere else. With a private transfer the driver takes the route that ends at your door in Paphos, helps with the bags, and the price agreed on WhatsApp does not change if the trains are on strike or the road is slow.

Restaurants here serve traditional Cypriot food in a relaxed local setting. From the town, a downhill road or a short bus ride reaches the harbour and archaeological park at Kato Paphos in about ten minutes.
