Patras (GPA) → Paphos (PFO)
A reference for the Araxos Airport to Paphos International Airport route. You'll find the operators on file, the great-circle geometry, the connecting options if no nonstop fits your dates, and a short profile of each endpoint airport.
The flight from Patras (GPA) to Paphos (PFO) covers a great-circle distance of roughly 1,060 km (658 miles). Aircraft leave Araxos Airport on an initial east heading. As international sectors go, this one sits in the medium-haul bracket: long enough that most carriers run it as its own dedicated rotation, but short enough to fit inside a single crew duty period.
Ryanair is the only carrier filing a scheduled GPA to PFO service in the dataset. Single-operator routes like this usually reflect a focus-city or hub-spoke relationship, or a market that's big enough to support one dedicated daily but not big enough to attract a second entrant yet.
Operators on the GPA → PFO direction
Carriers with at least one scheduled rotation on this sector in the OpenFlights dataset, ranked by the number of code-shared filings.
A medium-haul sector of this length is an operational sweet spot. Block time lands near 1h 59m, well inside a single crew duty for most carriers, and modern narrow-bodies (A320neo, 737 MAX, A321) can fly it without payload restrictions. Premium-cabin product on this kind of sector is usually a recliner seat rather than a fully flat bed.
No obvious one-stop hubs appear on both ends of the network for this pair. Usually that means either the destination is a small spoke airport, or the only realistic itineraries route through a global super-hub well outside the region. The sections below point to the strongest candidates on each side.
This is an international sector between Greece and Cyprus. Build in time for passport validity, possible visa requirements, and the time-zone gap between Patras and Paphos.

Reading this route page
The operator list reflects scheduled-route filings in the OpenFlights dataset, not real-time availability. A carrier appearing here publishes a scheduled service on this sector. It isn't a live timetable, and the actual flight numbers, frequencies, and aircraft types shift season to season. For booking and current schedules, cross-reference the airline page above with the carrier's own website.
Distance here is the great-circle arc between the two airports' published coordinates. Real flight tracks wander off that line because of wind, ATC routings, oceanic crossings, and political airspace constraints. Block time is an estimate covering ground taxi, climb, cruise at typical jet speeds, and descent. Real block times shift with aircraft type, weather, and traffic, so treat the stat-strip number as a planning indicator rather than a published flight time.
