Hi i am comming to pathos in june and know there is a duty free shop at the airport is it cheaper to buy there or wait till i am in the centre of pathos

As I recall there is a duty-free shop/shops in Departures at Pafos airport. I don't recall one in the Arrivals area, or in the general airport concourse area.

I don't think prices are much (if any) lower than in Pafos/Cyprus generally if you are flying within the EU. If you are flying out of the EU you may find some things are cheaper in duty-free than in the Pafos shops (because you will not be charged the same amount of duty as you will be in the shops).

I have travelled quite a bit and I have yet to find a duty free shop that offers anything cheaper than outside. The sole exception (sometimes) are cigarettes. On arrival in Cyprus nothing is cheaper, as these shops are not duty free. Even when departing, the prices offeed by the shops are not competitve.

Not worth wasting your time there unless you are flying out (departing) to a non EU country in which case duty free prices apply.
