Here is what to expect. ## What stops running Public buses (routes 612/613) stop in the evening, typically before 9 PM in winter and around 11 PM in summer. If your flight lands after 8 PM, do not count on the bus. ## What still works **Taxis** are available at the rank after evening flights. However, if multiple flights land close together, the queue can be significant and taxis run out quickly. You may wait 15-30 minutes. **Pre-booked transfers** are the most reliable option. The driver is assigned to your flight and waits regardless of delays. For a resort hotel that is difficult to find in the dark, having a driver who knows the location is valuable. ## The drive at night Cyprus roads are generally good and well-maintained. The drive to Paphos town is straightforward on the main road. However, some resort hotels are in less obvious locations — dark side roads, gated compounds, unmarked turns. Having a driver who knows the area or a working GPS makes a difference. The drive to Limassol at night is fast (50-60 min on clear motorway). To Coral Bay or Polis, the roads are darker but manageable. ## Practical tips - Pre-book your transfer if arriving after 8 PM, especially for destinations beyond Paphos town - Have your hotel's exact address and phone number ready - The airport has ATMs if you need cash for a taxi - Cyprus is very safe at night — security is not a concern **Q: Are taxis available at Paphos Airport at night?** Yes, taxis wait at the rank after evening flights.

If your flight lands in the evening, a taxi or pre-booked transfer is your only option. **Q: Is Paphos Airport safe at night?** Yes, Paphos Airport and Cyprus in general are very safe at night. The airport is well-lit and secure. The main challenge is transport availability, not safety. --- ### Paphos Airport: Taxi vs Pre-booked Transfer **URL:** https://www.airporttransferportal.com/airport-guides/pfo/taxi-vs-transfer The taxi vs transfer decision at Paphos Airport depends largely on where you are going and when you arrive. ## Taxis at Paphos Airport **Cost:** EUR 20-30 to Paphos town (regulated pricing).

The terminal is small, walks are short, and Cyprus is a family-friendly destination. But getting from the airport to your hotel with kids has some specific considerations. ## Child car seats Cyprus law requires child car seats for children under 150 cm. However, taxis at Paphos Airport rarely carry them. This creates a gap between the law and the practical reality. Your options: 1. **Pre-book a transfer with a child seat** — specify age and weight when booking. Reputable transfer companies provide appropriate seats. 2. **Bring your own travel car seat** — gives you control over the equipment for the whole trip, useful if you are renting a car later. 3. **Request one when booking a taxi** — some taxi companies can provide a child seat if asked in advance, but this is not guaranteed. ## Transport options for families **Best: Pre-booked transfer** — child seat available, driver waiting, air-conditioned vehicle, fixed price. The clear winner for families, especially for longer rides to Coral Bay, Polis, or Limassol. **Acceptable: Taxi** — works for short rides to Paphos town if children do not need car seats. Taxis are air-conditioned and the ride is short. **Difficult: Public bus** — narrow aisles, limited luggage space, no guarantee of seats during busy times. Strollers are a challenge. ## Inside the airport The terminal has basic family facilities. Baby changing is available. The walk from the gate to arrivals is short. A small shop sells drinks and snacks. ## Tips for families - Cyprus is hot in summer. Have water ready and get into an air-conditioned vehicle quickly after arriving. - If heading to a resort, your transfer company can usually coordinate with the hotel for late check-ins. - Pack sunscreen in your hand luggage — you will need it from the moment you step outside. **Q: Do Paphos Airport taxis have child car seats?** Most taxis at Paphos Airport do not carry child car seats. Cyprus law requires them for children under 150 cm, but enforcement in taxis is lax. Pre-book a transfer with a child seat or bring your own travel seat. **Q: What is the best transport from Paphos Airport with kids?** A pre-booked transfer is the best option for families. You can request child seats, the vehicle is air-conditioned, the driver waits at arrivals, and the price is fixed. Especially important for longer rides to Coral Bay or Limassol. **Q: Is the bus from Paphos Airport suitable for families?** Not really. The bus has narrow aisles and limited luggage space. Managing strollers, car seats, and suitcases on a public bus is difficult. A taxi or transfer is much easier for families. --- ### Cost of getting from Paphos Airport to your destination **URL:** https://www.airporttransferportal.com/airport-guides/pfo/cost-to-city Paphos Airport serves a wide area of western and southern Cyprus.
