Paphos International Airport: where to stay, areas and recommended…

Paphos Airport is about 16 km south-east of the Kato Paphos harbour, with a 20-25 minute transfer by car that rises to 25-40 minutes on bus line 612. Anyone who wants the harbour, the archaeological park and the town's evening life should look at Kato Paphos; anyone who prefers a quieter coastal village a few minutes from the terminal, with a less touristy feel, can consider Mandria, just south-west of the airport.
