Paphos or Larnaca: Choosing Your Airport
Aphrodite Hills sits between Cyprus's two international airports, but they are not equal for a resort holiday. Paphos International (PFO) is the near neighbour to the west; Larnaca International (LCA) is a long motorway run to the east. Unless your flights or fares clearly favour Larnaca, fly into Paphos for the shortest, simplest transfer.
| Airport | Distance to resort | Drive time | Main route |
|---|---|---|---|
| Paphos (PFO) | ~20 km | 20-25 min | B6 then A6 eastbound |
| Larnaca (LCA) | ~112 km | ~75 min | A5/A1 to Limassol, A6 westbound |
Pre-booking matters more than the exact desk you use. Collecting a car you reserved online means you skip the queue, lock a rate before the winter golf peak, and drive straight to your villa. When you are ready, compare car hire deals for your travel dates.
The Drive from Paphos Airport (PFO)
From PFO you leave the terminal, join the B6 coastal road and then the A6 motorway eastbound towards Limassol. The whole run is toll-free, well-lit on the motorway sections and signed in both Greek and English. Allow 20-25 minutes in normal traffic.
The single most common mistake is overshooting the exit. Watch for the brown tourist sign reading "Petra tou Romiou" and "Aphrodite Hills"; leave the A6 there and turn onto the B6 under the flyover. Miss it and you face a 15 km detour to the next junction at Mandria before you can double back.
Turning into the resort, the access road climbs steeply and crosses a speed hump designed for golf buggies, so ease off as you approach the gatehouse. Many guests pick PFO precisely because a 20-minute drive after a four-hour flight is manageable even with tired children in the back.
The Drive from Larnaca (LCA)
Larnaca is the bigger airport and sometimes the cheaper flight, but it is a 112 km, roughly 75-minute drive almost entirely on motorway: the A5 and A1 west past Limassol, then the A6 towards Paphos, exiting at the same Aphrodite Hills junction. The road quality is excellent and the route is straightforward for anyone used to UK motorways.
- Fatigue is the real factor — 112 km after a long flight and a late arrival is tiring, especially at night.
- Average-speed cameras operate on stretches of the motorway network, so hold a steady legal speed rather than slowing only at camera points.
- Choose Larnaca if you are touring the east (Nicosia, Larnaca, Ayia Napa) as well as the Paphos side, or if the fare difference is significant.
Whichever airport you choose, the resort sits close to its headline attractions: browse things to do near Aphrodite Hills and read our guide to Petra tou Romiou and ancient Paphos before you set off.
Collecting Your Car & Fuelling Up
Out-of-hours airport collections — typically late evening to early morning — can attract a surcharge that is not always obvious online, so check the pickup window when you book. There is no petrol station on the resort plateau itself, so plan your fuel stops around the two handy stations on the B6.
| Station | Where | Handy for |
|---|---|---|
| EKO Mandria | B6 west, towards Paphos | Topping up before returning the car to PFO |
| Petrolina Pissouri | B6 east, towards Limassol | Fuelling before a Limassol or wine-country day |
Mid-2026 pump prices run about €1.58 a litre for unleaded 95 and €1.73 for diesel. In working hours an attendant fills the car; after hours the pumps switch to 24-hour automated self-service that takes notes and cards, so make sure your bank card is enabled for overseas automated machines before an early-morning airport run.
