This is a coast-to-coast journey on motorway almost all the way. The driver follows the A6 from Paphos Airport to Limassol, then the A1 and A5 towards Larnaca, and finally the A3, which bypasses Larnaca town and runs east to Ayia Napa. On the way you'll see Aphrodite's Rock, the Kourion cliffs and, near Larnaca, the salt lake. The landscape gets flatter and drier as you head east into the red-soil farmland of the Kokkinochoria villages, famous for potatoes.
Ayia Napa itself is known for beaches like Nissi Beach, Makronissos and the Cape Greco national park with its sea caves and clear water. The town centre around the monastery square is lively at night in summer, while quieter hotels sit along the coast towards Cape Greco and Protaras. Give us the hotel or villa name and we'll drop you at the entrance.
On a long ride the driver can make a short stop for a coffee or a toilet break, usually at a motorway service area near Limassol or Larnaca. If you're travelling with children, it's worth asking for one; just mention it when you book.
- Add your flight number so the driver adapts to delays; it's a long trip, and you'll want to leave as soon as you land.
- Tell us about all luggage in advance, including diving gear, buggies or sports equipment.
- Heading back for a Paphos flight? Allow about 4 hours 30 minutes between pick-up in Ayia Napa and departure.
