Paphos to receive record €230m investment for major projects
More than €230 million is expected to flow into Paphos in 2026 and 2027 for a total of 75 large and smaller development and infrastructure projects, Transport Minister Alexis Vafeades confirmed during a meeting with local authorities in the district.
The scale of the planned spending broadly echoed what President Nikos Christodoulides had announced at the end of 2025 during the pan-district conference in Paphos, with officials describing it as a record package of projects and funding for the province.
At the top of the agenda once again is the Paphos-Polis Chrysochous motorway, following the government’s position that it should be built as a four-lane road with additional access through Mesogi.
Vafeades also said priority this year is being given to improving the existing Paphos-Polis road until the new motorway is completed, advancing the western bypass of Paphos, and unblocking the new road to Paphos airport by resolving pending environmental issues.
In addition, works and upgrades are expected in 2026 on the road network in Geroskipou, Peyia and the suburban area of the municipality of Paphos, while larger projects, including the marina, are also being pushed forward.
