How to get from Paphos Airport to Kato Pyrgos

The Paphos Airport to Kato Pyrgos journey approaches the village through the Pafos region. Visit Cyprus explains that, because of the 1974 Turkish invasion, Kato Pyrgos is accessible only via this region.

That makes the road route the central point to plan around: the stated approach follows the A1 and A6 motorways, then takes the B7 after arriving at Pafos and continues on the E704 to Kato Pyrgos.

An airport-to-village transfer estimate is approximately 97 km and 2 hours 13 minutes; the booking company describes those figures as indicative and says the transport company may choose the route.

For the stay itself, Tylos Beach is in Kato Pyrgos. The village sits between coast and hillside, on the northern foothills of the Troodos mountains.

Driving from Paphos Airport means following the route through Pafos and onward to Kato Pyrgos. Visit Cyprus describes the road sequence as A1 and A6, followed by the B7 after Pafos and then the E704.

Transfer quotes give different indicative figures: one lists approximately 97 km and 2 hours 13 minutes from Paphos Airport, while another gives 83 km and about 1 hour 48 minutes from Paphos, with a price from €218. The latter quote starts in Paphos, not explicitly at the airport, so the figures are not directly comparable.

If you book a transfer, check that the pickup is at Paphos International Airport and confirm the final fare and route with the provider. The airport-to-village estimate and the Paphos-origin quote use different starting points.

A transfer-booking company names several vehicle types for travel to Kato Pyrgos, but does not establish which ones run as scheduled services from Paphos Airport.

Those options include taxis, minibuses, buses, wheelchair-adapted vehicles, private transfers and shuttles. Confirm directly whether a specific service is offered for your airport pickup, and whether it needs advance booking.

Airport bus routes 612 and 613 serve Paphos town, and route 613 goes to Karavella Bus Station. An onward bus connection to Kato Pyrgos is not confirmed, so don’t assume that reaching town completes the trip. Check the official site before you go for current route and service details.

If you expect to rely on local transport after arrival, getting around Kato Pyrgos without a car is relevant to planning the rest of your journey.

Kato Pyrgos is a coastal village with hillside surroundings, a fishing shelter and local features that make it more than a waypoint at the end of the drive. The shelter’s fresh fish contributes to the village’s popularity as a holiday resort.

The Chapel of Panagia tis Galoktistis contains hagiographies dating to the 12th and 14th centuries.
