Transport in Cyprus: choosing how to get around
From the airport to getting around the island: choose your route, whether by public transport or by car, and view the detailed guide.
The mode of transport should be chosen based on the specific route. First, decide on your airport and accommodation, then work out what journeys you’ll need to make each day. Different options are suitable for a single short journey and for several distant stops. This overview helps you break the decision down into parts, whilst leaving the exact timetables and conditions to specialist guides and transport operators.
The official tourism portal lists the various ways to get around the island. Before paying, please check the current route, stops, timetable and rules with the transport operator or hire company; the general map provided may not reflect any changes.
Select an airport
Start by looking at the airports to match your arrival with your final destination and the rest of your journey.
Leaving the airport
Once you have chosen your flight, compare the route from the airport to your accommodation. A detailed guide explains the options for changing transport and checking the operator.
Getting about without a car
If you’re planning to use buses or other public transport routes, have a look at the separate guide and check the latest timetable with the operator.
Planning a road trip
If you wish to hire a car and drive it yourself, first read the detailed information, then check the current road traffic regulations and the terms of the contract directly at the source.
Taxis and other pre-booked journeys
A taxi can be a convenient option for a single journey if public transport timetables and routes are unsuitable. Before getting in, check the operator’s licence, how the fare is calculated, the availability of a vehicle of the required size, and the conditions regarding child seats, if required. The exact price and terms and conditions will be confirmed by the specific operator.
Plan two routes: a transfer after arrival and your usual journeys whilst on holiday. Checking journey times, service availability and regulations immediately before your journey is more important than an out-of-date list of fares. The latest road regulations are available on the Your Europe portal.
