The route follows three motorways. From Paphos the driver takes the A6 east past Aphrodite's Rock and around Limassol, then joins the A1 towards Nicosia. Near the village of Kofinou the A5 branches off towards Larnaca, and from its end it's a short drive past the Larnaca Salt Lake to the airport terminal. In winter the salt lake often has flamingos, and you can see the Hala Sultan Tekke mosque on its shore from the road.

The motorways are wide and well kept, and outside rush hour the drive is steady. The part to watch is the Limassol bypass, which gets congested on weekday mornings and late afternoons, and summer weekends when many people head to the beaches. We plan the pick-up time around your flight and the time of day, so you don't have to worry about it.

Larnaca Airport is the island's largest, with most long-haul and many low-cost flights, so you may arrive in Larnaca and stay in Paphos too. We cover the reverse direction as well: give us your flight number and the driver will wait for you in the Larnaca arrivals hall.

  • For a departure, plan to leave Paphos about 4 hours before your flight; we'll confirm the exact pick-up time with you.
  • Early flight? Morning traffic is light before 7:00, but still allow extra time for check-in queues in summer.
  • Long ride with children? Ask for a child seat and a short stop on the way if you need one.
