Flights to Polis Inland Villages, Cyprus

Paphos Airport (PFO) is around 20km from any of the holiday rental accommodation in Polis, and receives direct flights from across the UK, provided by British Airways. From the airport, there are regular busses from the airport, which take you very close to the front door of a Polis holiday rental property. However, it is usually advisable to get a hire car if you are staying in accommodation in Polis Inland Villages, as their remote location means that the transport networks are not regular enough to let you get the most out of your Polis holiday, as it makes reaching remote villages, secluded beaches and the less trodden walking trails that little bit easier.
