If you are flying into Paphos airport, you will be surprised to find that the airport is 15-20 minutes from Paphos city center. You can choose to take a taxi to the city coerced by the many taxi drivers in the Paphos airport lounge asking you to use them to drive. Depending on what you want to do while on vacation, this can be a big mistake.

Once you have your rental car at Paphos airport, the southern coast of Cyprus is at your beck and call. If you are going to the beach, be aware that most of the beaches on the southern coast of Cyprus near Paphos are quite rocky. Most people wear a pair of old tennis shoes, reef shoes, or scuba shoes when they go swimming at these beaches. If you prefer to be near a sandy beach, you will need to drive to Coral Bay, which is located west of Paphos city center. The road to Coral Bay is clearly marked with signs near the port and the shoreline in the center of town. Expect a 15-20 minute ride on a single lane highway along the coast. You will know that you are close by because there are several large hotels that have their own private beaches. Don’t let this intimidate you as there are several places where the public has access to the main beach. Parking is free, but make sure you lock your car. Even if your car is a rental car at Paphos airport, it must be locked and no personal belongings are left in sight.
If you have young children, a very nice secluded beach is down from a Cafe called Veronica. You will see the cafe from the highway as it is designated by a large sign with a large fork and spoon. This beach is very well protected from the waves, there are several areas where the rocks form a kind of children’s pool for the little ones. You also have the convenience of being near a nice cafe that has decent food and bathrooms.
If you choose to rent a car and are staying in the city center, remember to look at the signage to see where you can park overnight, where it is free, and where they charge money.
If sightseeing is your thing, you can drive your rental car from Paphos Airport to Trudos Mountain. Dress warmly as even during the summer months Trudos summit can be quite cool, there may even be snow on the ground! You may want to visit Aphrodite’s birthplace or the Tomb of the Kings.
