Paphos Airport Taxis
The taxis at Paphos Airport are located just outside the terminal building and are readily available 24 hours.
We recommend a company named Shuttle Dirtect to pre book a private transfer so that when you arrive at Paphos International Airport you will be met by your driver in the arrivals hall who will take you directly to your destination.
A cheaper option would be to book a seat on a shared shuttle bus where this will then stop at the major hotels and resorts close to Larnaca Airport.
Alternatively, you may prefer to get a quote for car hire online.
