 Tip: 

If You Are Travelling In A Larger Group:

Although the public bus service offers a cheap form of transfer, there are several disadvantages. The public bus services from the airport do not drop you at your hotel. As a result, this means that you will then need to get from the bus station in Paphos to your accommodation. This obviously means getting on and off the buses with your luggage. If there are several people travelling, the amount of luggage can be considerable. Not only this but you will then probably need to get a taxi from the bus station in Paphos to your hotel. As you can imagine, this will obviously increase the cost of your transfer. Also, you will need to do it all again in reverse, on your return to the airport!

Something To Consider:

Private airport shuttles from Paphos Airport to your hotel are very cost effective. This is especially the case, if there are several people travelling, where costs can be shared. Airport shuttles pick you up from the airport and drop you off at your hotel. On your return, they pick you up from your hotel and take you to the airport. This is a direct transfer, exclusive to your group. As a result, it eliminates:

  • Waiting for a bus outside the airport
  • Struggling with your luggage on and off the buses
  • Having to get a taxi from the bus station to your hotel
  • Doing it all again on your return journey back to the airport

A private airport shuttle may not cost that much more than your bus fares and taxis. It is worth considering and taking a look at how much an airport shuttle would be. See how much it would be in comparison to the airport bus.
