How to get a Taxi in Paphos

Taxis in Paphos don’t have a uniform colour, but they do all have that telltale ‘TAXI’ sign on top, so you can easily spot them. You can choose to hail a taxi in the street, head to one of the many taxi stands around the city or call a local company to book your taxi. 

If you want to stay out of the hot sun or are travelling late at night, it’s a good idea to call a taxi company while you wait inside. Be sure to tell the phone operator where you are, where you need to go and let them know how many passengers will be travelling and if you have any luggage. Also, be aware that there is an extra charge for this service. Some reliable Paphos taxi companies are:

Your final option is to walk to a taxi stand. You can find these dotted all over the city, at the major tourist spots, the airport, Karavella Square, Poseidonos Ave, Platonos, at the Tombs of the King, near Paphos Harbour, outside the King Jason Paphos hotel and next to the Municipal Baths.

Paphos Taxi Tips

  1. Taxi drivers in Paphos don’t always speak English, so it’s a good idea to write down your destination’s address to show to your driver.
  2. When taking an urban taxi in Paphos, make sure the taximeter is reset to the base fare of €3.42 before you begin your journey.
  3. Most Paphos taxis don't accept payments with bills over €20 as they don't carry enough change. So, be sure to have smaller bills or coins with you.
  4. To make sure your driver follows the correct or fastest route, you can check your journey on Google Maps.
  5. If you want to transport a pet, you must keep them in a small pet carrier or box at all times.
