Rental car
A taxi from the airport to Kato Paphos is roughly €30-€40. Pre-booked shuttles are cheaper per seat but require advance booking.
Taxi and hire car prices are rough guides, for comparison.
What the ride is actually like.
The 612 leaves the airport, climbs out through Timi village, then descends along the B6 into Paphos. The whole thing takes twenty-five minutes off-peak, thirty in heavy traffic. Quiet, air-conditioned, and almost always seated.
Arrivals curb, bay 2
Walk straight out of the terminal past the taxi rank. The 612 stop is right there, with a printed timetable and a real-time display that mostly works.
It runs late
Last service from the airport is around 23:30, handy if your flight slips. After that, only taxis or pre-booked shuttles.
Connect at Karavella
Karavella is the hub. From there: the 615 to Coral Bay via the harbour, and Intercity 56 to Limassol, leave from the same forecourt.
Pay the driver, or tap
Cash works, exact change preferred. Motion card holders tap on boarding, €2.00 Motion, €2.70 cash.
Full timetable.

Plan the airport tripCommon questions.
Is the 612 reliable enough for an early flight?
For flights after 09:30, yes, board the 06:30 from Karavella and you'll be at the terminal with an hour to spare. For dawn flights (before 07:00), pre-book a shuttle or taxi; the 612 won't be running.
Can I use it with hand luggage and a suitcase?
Yes. There's a small rack at the front for two suitcases per passenger, plus floor space. Drivers are used to airport luggage and will help you load it.
Does it go to Coral Bay directly?
No, but the connection at Karavella is straightforward. The 615 to Coral Bay leaves from bay 3, every 20 minutes. Aloya's planner stitches the two legs into one trip.
What about late-night arrivals?
If your flight lands after 23:30, the 612 has stopped for the day. Take a taxi (€30-€40 to Kato Paphos) or pre-book a transfer.
Can I use the airport bus instead of paying for transfers?
Absolutely, that's exactly what most locals do. The 612 is a quarter the cost of the cheapest pre-booked shuttle and runs every 30 minutes.
Open the planner before you board.
Aloya tracks the 612 against the live OSYPA schedule, factors in your walk from the gate, and routes you onward at Karavella without you having to think about it. Free, bilingual, no account needed.
