Driving in Paphos: What to expect on the road

Documents you'll need
You'll need your driving licence, passport and a credit card to rent a car in Paphos.
Most visitors can use their regular licence. You may need an International Driving Permit (IDP) if your licence isn't in English, so check with your rental company before booking. Bring ID that matches your reservation details.
Navigating city driving
Road signs are clear, and main routes are easy to follow.
Driving in Paphos is simple, with light traffic outside the harbour. Coastal roads can slow during busy holiday periods. Roundabouts are common, and navigation apps help you move easily between the old town, beaches and nearby villages.
Tolls, emissions zones and charges
There are no toll roads or emissions zones in and around Paphos.
Cyprus has no motorway tolls, so you won't pay extra to use main routes. Some beaches and historic sites have small parking fees, but everyday driving across the region is free and straightforward.
Parking your car in Paphos
Parking is usually easy, especially outside the harbour area.
Many streets have free spaces, and hotels often include parking. The harbour gets busy in summer, so public car parks are a safer choice. Always check signposts for paid zones or time limits before leaving your car.
Finding fuel or charging points
Fuel is easy to find, and EV charging stations in Paphos are limited.
Petrol stations sit along main roads and near the town centre. Electric drivers will find only a few charging points in the area, so apps like PlugShare help you check availability before longer journeys.
Local driving style and tips
Drivers are relaxed, and traffic feels calm across most of Paphos.
Village and coastal roads can be narrow with sharp bends. You may see scooters in busier areas, so keep a steady speed and leave extra room when passing parked cars or approaching blind corners.
