Rental car
A taxi Paphos → Coral Bay runs €18-€22. Walking is technically possible (90 minutes along the coast) but only in the cooler months.
Taxi and hire car prices are rough guides, for comparison.
What the ride is actually like.
Leaves Karavella heading west, dives down to Kato Paphos harbour for a five-minute loop (you can board here), then climbs back up to the coast road and runs all the way to Coral Bay through Kissonerga and Peyia.
Two pickup points in town
Karavella for the start, or wait at the harbour stop, both give you a seat. The harbour pickup adds five minutes but is easier with hotels in Kato Paphos.
Sit on the left
From the harbour onwards the sea is on your left. The view through Kissonerga at midday is reason enough to skip the taxi.
Beach stops on request
Drivers will stop at Tomb of the Kings, Sea Caves and Laourou beach if you ask. Just call out the name as you approach.
Last bus, 23:00
Service runs every twenty minutes until late, last one back around 23:00. Useful for beach-bar dinners without driving.
Full timetable.
Direct from OSYPA. Times are departures from Karavella station.
Allow 30-40 minutes to Coral Bay. Sunday service every 30 minutes.
Heading back? Coral Bay → Paphos. Same line in reverse, same twenty-minute frequency. Last return 23:20.
Plan the return tripCommon questions.
Where exactly does it stop in Coral Bay?
At the top of the strip, opposite the Coral Beach Hotel road. The beach itself is a three-minute walk down.
Does it run from Paphos airport?
Not directly, take the 612 from PFO to Karavella (€2.00 Motion card, €2.70 cash, 25 min), then change to the 615. Aloya stitches the two.
Pay how?
Cash €2.70 to the driver, or Motion card €2.00. Free transfers within 90 minutes with Motion.
How crowded in summer?
Standing-room only on the 11:00 outbound in July and August. Earlier services and afternoon returns are easier for a seat.
Bikes or surfboards?
No bike racks. Small folding bikes and bodyboards travel free; full surfboards rarely allowed.
Skip the taxi, see the coast.
Aloya tracks the 615 against the live OSYPA schedule, knows the exact harbour-loop timing, and chains the 612 from the airport for one trip that actually works.
