Buses, Taxis and Hire Cars

Cyprus does not have much in the way of a public transport system, so it is a good idea to consider how much you are looking to explore the island, or travel off the Resort during you holiday to weigh up your best options for transportation during your holiday. If you are based on the Western Plateau of the Resort (which is where all of the Resort facilities are located) then you don’t necessarily need to hire a car if you are not planning to leave the Resort much during your stay, however if you are staying on the Eastern Plateau or are thinking of doing some sightseeing or eating outside of the Resort, then we would definitely recommend hiring a car.

There are no bus transfers to Aphrodite Hills from the airports, therefore we recommend pre-booking a taxi, or having your car hire arranged for pick-up when you land.

If you’re considering travelling into Paphos to visit the harbour, or other places of interest, then there is a great bus service that runs from the Golf Club car park straight into Paphos harbour (from where you can get connecting buses into Paphos Old Town, or Coral Bay for example).

Here we include details of our preferred partners for Taxis and Car Hire, as well as information on the Bus Route that runs from the Resort.

Taxis
Our recommended taxi company is Palepafos Taxi, based in Kouklia Village that also have an office hut at the Golf Club car park on the Resort. They have a variety of cars and mini buses and are very familiar with Aphrodite Hills Resort.  Bonus: they offer our guests and 8509 magazine readers a 10% discount:

You can contact Palepafos Taxi by telephone: 26 432 161 or e-mail: palepafostaxi@live.com. The lady that takes care of the bookings is called Despina and she is very helpful and friendly.

Car Hire
We recommend a company called Paforentals based in Paphos who we have found to be very reliable, offer great service, have a good fleet and who are used very often by our guests.  You can contact them on: Paforentals – Website: www.paforentals.com  E-mail: info@paforentals.com  Tel: 26 947 058 (do mention you are an aphroditerentals.com guest and they offer a free extra collision damage waiver).

You can also hire road and mountain bikes locally for delivery to your holiday property from CWC-Pro Cycling in Kouklia Village – Tel: 96 518061.
