Signals were already evident in 2024 and now, with the tourist season at its peak, it is definitively confirmed that Poland constitutes by far the second main source of tourist flow after the United Kingdom for Paphos in 2025.
Official arrival data, flights from the country’s airports and bookings show that this Central European country continues from where it left off in 2024, with half of Polish visitors arriving in Cyprus for holidays staying in Paphos.
Paphos’s air connectivity with Poland is the best in the past 30 years, with up to 20 flights per week being operated in 2025 from six major Polish airports, with Ryanair having an almost monopolistic penetration in this market.
These significant data are already being utilised by Paphos authorities in an effort to form the basis for further tourism development cooperation between the two countries.
In this context, tourism bodies in the province, with the assistance of the Deputy Ministry of Tourism, are taking action aimed at informing travel agents about promoting Paphos as a year-round tourist destination.
The Polish market has now become a top priority market and in recent years arrivals have increased significantly, mainly due to Ryanair flights to Paphos.
