To find a night pharmacy in Paphos, check the official Pharmaceutical Services page under Πάφος, select the relevant date and call before travelling. Confirm the full address: a Paphos search result may not be close to your hotel, neighbourhood or village.
Use the current rota to identify the pharmacy. This guide explains the next steps without presenting a permanent “open tonight” list.
Check the Paphos rota before opening directions
Select Διημερεύοντα Φαρμακεία Πάφου on the official duty-pharmacy page. The city file currently opens as a spreadsheet download. Check its coverage dates and find the date of your planned visit.
You can also consult Cyta’s night-pharmacy page, checking that the result is for Paphos and the appropriate date. If a listing shows an earlier date, do not treat it as confirmation for tonight. Go back to the official source or contact the pharmacy.
Kato Paphos and the town centre are different starting points
If you are staying near the harbour or in Kato Paphos, check the route from your accommodation to the listed address. A pharmacy in the town centre may require a different journey from one near the waterfront.
Use the pharmacy’s full address rather than searching only its name. Ask your hotel or host to help with directions if needed, but confirm availability with the pharmacy itself. Reception advice and an old list of nearby businesses should not replace the current duty rota.
Travelling from Chloraka, Peyia or Coral Bay
“Paphos” can be used broadly in visitor information. If you are in Chloraka, Peyia, Coral Bay or another surrounding area, say exactly where you are when asking for help. Do not assume that a result labelled Paphos is nearby or that every local pharmacy participates in the same city rota.
Before arranging a taxi or driving, confirm the destination, whether the pharmacist can assist at your arrival time, and whether the medicine is available. If someone is collecting for you, send them the address and the collection requirements together.
Visitors with a prescription from abroad
Bring the original prescription if you have one, along with the medicine’s packaging or a clear photograph. Ask the pharmacist whether the prescription can be dispensed in Cyprus and what further documentation is needed.
Pharmaceutical Services explains that qualifying prescriptions from another EU Member State require an original signed document with specified patient, prescriber and medicine details. Controlled medicines are excluded from that general cross-border route. A photograph of a packet is useful information, but is not itself a prescription.
Read our guide to prescriptions in Cyprus before assuming that a familiar brand, electronic prescription or medicine bought elsewhere can be supplied in the same way here.
Late at night: ask how access works
A duty listing can cover both open-shop hours and a later on-call prescription service. Telephone before leaving and ask whether you should visit immediately or follow a specific collection arrangement. Always use the applicable notice for the time and date involved.
If your concern needs medical assessment rather than medicine collection, see how to find a doctor open now. For an emergency, call 112.
