Paphos Airport Transfer (PFO)

Paphos International Airport (IATA: PFO) is Cyprus's second airport, 15 kilometres south-east of Paphos town on the west coast. PFO runs a strongly seasonal profile — heavy UK, Irish, German and Nordic charter traffic from May to October with a substantially reduced winter schedule. The airport-to-Paphos-harbour run takes 15 to 25 minutes; the Coral Bay hotel strip is 22 to 32 minutes. Limassol is 65 kilometres east via the A6 motorway (50 to 65 minutes) — slightly shorter than the LCA-to-Limassol run on the opposite side. A LocalsRide private transfer meets you at the arrivals exit at a fare locked in EUR at booking.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does PFO run a full flight schedule in winter?

No — PFO operates a substantially reduced winter schedule. Most UK, Irish, German and Scandinavian charter routes stop between November and April, with summer-only operators (Jet2, TUI, regional carriers) pausing service entirely. Year-round scheduled routes continue from a handful of UK and European cities. Winter arrivals at PFO see lighter airport taxi availability and often no queue at all; pre-booking a transfer for a winter arrival guarantees a vehicle regardless of the quieter rank.

Can I combine Aphrodite's Rock into my PFO airport transfer?

Yes — a PFO-to-hotel transfer with a stop at Petra tou Romiou (Aphrodite's Rock, 25 km south-east of PFO on the coast road) is a common first-afternoon booking. The rock is a roadside viewpoint rather than a ticketed site; a 20 to 30 minute stop covers the view, photos, and the steps down to the beach. Request the stop at booking so the driver allocates time for it; a round-trip through Kourion or Omodos can be added for a longer introductory drive.
