Getting around Cyprus: transport and apps

Driving on the left

• Cyprus drives on the left. Steering wheels are on the right, roundabouts run clockwise.
• The motorway network between Nicosia, Limassol, Larnaca and Paphos is good and free.
• Mountain roads in the Troodos are narrow and can be snowbound in winter - Cyprus has a small ski area.
• Distances are short. Nowhere on the island is more than about two hours from anywhere else.

Buses

• The intercity network is cheap but sparse, and services stop early in the evening.
• Do not plan an evening return by bus from a village; there often is not one.
• Ayia Napa and the resort strips have their own local services in season.

Taxis and apps

• Taxis are metered in the cities and there is a shared "service taxi" tradition between towns.
• Bolt operates in the main cities.
