Worth knowing
Two buses leave the one stop outside arrivals: 612 for Kato Paphos, along the seafront hotels to the Tombs of the Kings, and 613 up to the old town of Ktima and Karavella bus station. Both take about 25 minutes.
The bus fare is EUR 2.00 cash to the driver, EUR 3.00 after 21:00; a day ticket from the driver is EUR 6.50. Luggage is included, children up to 12 pay half and under-sixes ride free.
Between them the two lines run from 05:50 to 01:00 every day, but only 29 buses a day, so a gap of an hour or more is normal. Nothing leaves between 01:00 and 05:50.
