Paphos sits on Cyprus's southwest coast, a city where antiquity and turquoise sea meet. Home to a UNESCO World Heritage archaeological park, the legendary birthplace-rock of Aphrodite and a small, postcard harbor — Paphos suits anyone who wants history and beach in the same trip.
✈️ Flight options
There's no year-round direct flight from Tbilisi to Paphos (PFO), but a few good routings exist:
- Wizz Air — seasonal direct from Kutaisi (KUT) — check the current schedule before booking
- Via Larnaca (LCA) — see the Tbilisi to Larnaca guide for carriers, then about an hour by bus or taxi to Paphos
- Via Athens (ATH) — with Aegean Airlines or another Greek carrier
💰 Price and season
A one-way ticket starts around $95, depending on the connection and season.
- Best season: April-June and September-October — 22-28°C, fewer crowds
- Summer (July-August): up to 35°C — great for the beach, but midday heat is intense
- Winter: mild, 15-18°C — pleasant for sightseeing, though not for swimming
🛂 Visa
Cyprus is an EU member but not yet part of the Schengen area, so its entry rules are set separately. Georgian citizens with a biometric passport can generally enter visa-free for a short stay — confirm the current rules with an official source before booking.
