MTC cost guide

What a coastal and archaeology week in Pafos costs

The Pafos examples use Paphos Airport, a single coastal base and separately priced archaeological visits. Airport bus assumptions are for the stated daytime service, not a promise about late-night arrivals or travel from Larnaca.

Scope, dates and party

These are dated ground-cost examples for two adults sharing one room, staying six nights over seven days, 10–16 November 2026. International flights, visas, insurance and shopping are excluded. They are planning examples, not live booking offers or year-round price ranges.

What is specific to this budget

  • Four adult one-way airport bus rides cover two people there and back.
  • The archaeological park and the Tombs of the Kings are separate admissions.
  • Each hotel tier has two baskets. A and B keep the same hotel, party and dates; they change the food and activity mix. A luxury hotel tier does not imply luxury dining or private transfers.

Dated cost examples

Six dated, itemised examples from 2026-11-10 to 2026-11-16: 6 nights and 7 days for two adults sharing one room, which is 14 person-days. Prices are as observed in September 2026, cover ground costs only, and are not multiplied out to other party sizes or trip lengths.

Dated planning estimate for two adults sharing one room, 10–16 November 2026, seven days/six nights. Flights excluded. Actual prices, availability, taxes and transport timing may differ; see the assumptions.

Local bus fares are daytime fares; night services and airport buses can cost more.

Practical notes

The PFO scenario assumes daytime bus operation. Four adult airport rides cover both travelers in both directions; local fares are additional and exclude those airport rides. Almyra/Poseidonos and the Tombs area are on the published airport route. Allow a hotel walk and check the exact stop. LCA arrivals require a separate transfer model.

Limits of these examples

Bounded scope only; does not complete the entire country. Hotel board, bedding and cancellation are not exposed; tax field interpretation is recorded. Numeric traits/month scores are editorial proposals, not survey results, safety ratings or new scoring logic. Night bus tariff conflicts; no night arrival estimate provided. Pafos/paphos aliases require deduplication against later application changes; pafos is proposed, not a recovered existing ID.
