how much would a taxi be from paphos airport to pernera in protaras

[clarebear86]

paphos is at the complete opposite side of the island to protaras you would be best flying into larnaca airport which is about 20 mins by taxi to pernera and cost me last august about 22 cypriot pounds.

22 CYP seems a bit steep for a 20-minute trip, but clare is quite right about the distances involved; Cyprus is quite small, but not THAT small! You're looking at a distance of about 100-110 miles; think what it would cost you for a taxi from, say, London to Birmingham. A Cypriot taxi will be a bit cheaper than a GB one would be for a comparable distance, but you'll still be facing a stiff fare. If I remember rightly from the noticeboard at Paphos airport (it's a few months since I was there, and it was the small hours of the morning!) the standard fare to Limassol is about 34 CYP - and that's barely halfway. Bear in mind that 1CYP = �1.20 sterling (or more, depending on the exchange rate you can get).

it could of been 22 english pounds then narolines like you it was early hours of the morning left my friend to pay i was half asleep what i should of said was it wasnt an amount that would break the bank compared to a trip from paphos to pernera.

You;re right, clare - the small hours at an airport isn't the best time to be alert and perceptive! It's also easy, because the Cyprus currency unit is called a pound, to think of prices in sterling and forget to add the 20%. I think we're saying the same thing here - Paphos to Protaras is a long way and a taxi isn't going to be cheap.
