It is a long ride by Cyprus standards, but an easy one. Almost the whole way is dual carriageway, and the final stretch brings you down to the harbour town on the west coast.

Why fly into Larnaca when Paphos has its own airport?

Paphos airport (PFO) is much closer, yet a lot of visitors still land at Larnaca. The usual reason is flight choice: more routes, more departure times or simply a better fare on the day.

A pre-booked private ride turns that choice into a straightforward evening. You leave the terminal with a driver, sit back for under two hours and arrive at the door instead of hunting for connections.

The drive from LCA to Paphos, stage by stage

  1. Larnaca to Limassol

    Around an hour west on the motorway, through rolling, open country with the sea appearing now and then on the left.

  2. Past Limassol

    The road bypasses the city and becomes the A6, climbing gently above the coast.

  3. Cliffs and vineyards

    West of Pissouri the motorway crosses higher ground inland of Aphrodite's Rock, with white chalk cliffs and farmland below.

  4. Into Paphos

    The A6 ends at the edge of town, and local roads lead to Kato Paphos, the harbour or the hotel strip.

Where in Paphos will you be dropped?

Kato Paphos and the harbour
Near the fort, the archaeological park with its mosaics and the Tombs of the Kings. Walkable for sightseeing.
The hotel strip
Large resort hotels along the coast road north of the harbour, many with direct sea access.
Chlorakas and Kissonerga
Further north, with apartments, villas and a quieter feel on the way towards Coral Bay.
Geroskipou and the upper town
East and inland, the first places you reach. Geroskipou is known for its loukoumi sweets.

Getting back to Larnaca for your flight

Leave Paphos about four hours before departure. That gives the full drive, airport time and a margin for slower traffic around Limassol.

HotelTaxi arranges this transfer with local providers in both directions, and you can book online or in a WhatsApp chat.

Frequently asked questions

How long is the drive from Larnaca Airport to Paphos?

Usually 92–115 minutes for the 135 km. The motorway covers almost the whole route, so delays are mainly around Limassol or in Paphos itself.

Is a transfer from Larnaca to Paphos expensive?

It reflects the distance. A standard car is usually around €120–160 and a minivan around €160–210 one way, with the exact price shown before booking.

Can the driver stop at Aphrodite's Rock?

The motorway runs inland of the rock, so a stop means a detour onto the old coast road. Ask when booking, and the provider will tell you if it is possible.

Do I need a minivan for four adults with suitcases?

Often yes. A standard car fits up to three passengers comfortably, so four adults with full-size cases usually travel more easily in a minivan.

What if my flight into Larnaca is delayed by several hours?

Share your flight number when booking. The pickup moves with the delay, and the agreed price stays the same.
