Paphos is very affordable, particularly if you go during the off-peak season. You can choose from a variety of accommodation options, from luxurious resorts to more modest apartments and hotels.

Paphos International airport is only 7km away from the city, and a taxi usually takes around 20 minutes. The only public transport option is the bus, with services running directly to Paphos Harbour and the city centre.

You can also hire a car with British Airways if you want to get out of Paphos and see more of what the surrounding area has to offer. You’ll receive great benefits, with all mandatory charges included and 24-hour customer support, plus you’ll collect Avios points on every rental.

As well as being a culturally rich destination, Paphos is also a great place for those seeking some adventure alongside sightseeing trips. Take a tour of the wild Akamas Peninsula National Park, which lies 15 miles north of the city. Stop at swimming and snorkelling spots along the way, including the Baths of Aphrodite and the Blue Lagoon. Or hike through the Avakas Gorge and discover its ancient narrow pathways.

If you’re visiting in winter, take a drive outside of Paphos where you can ski down tree-lined pistes on the slopes of Cyprus’ highest peak in the Troodos Mountains.
