Transportation in Cyprus
Map Of Cyprus
Bus
Services
Almost all villages are connected with
the nearest town by local buses. Bus operation is limited
to once or twice a day. Regional bus companies provide more
routes. In the main cities the buses operate frequently during
daytime and in certain tourist areas, during summer, their
timetables are extended till midnight.
Transfer and Taxi
Services
Rural taxis are to be found at taxi stands only. In Cyprus
cities both hotel and private taxi services are available. You can find them at
taxi parkings, bus stations, in front of big hotels, airports or other frequent
locations. The charges are reasonable and depend on the tariff periods – the
fare is more expensive after 20.00/22.00.
Urban taxis are provided with
taximeters and charging commences upon the entrance of a passenger. Although all
taxi drivers are obliged to use a taximeter, you can encounter a taxi that will
charge you their fixed price, mainly in North Cyprus. It is advisable to agree upon
the fare with the driver before setting off. The system of sharing a taxi with
another passenger travelling to the same destination (called Dolmus) also operates
widely in North Cyprus. This is a 24 hours service of urban taxis provided in all
towns. Taxis can be booked by phone or be hired from their locations. Remember
that if you need to take a taxi late at night or early in the morning, it is better
to arrange a taxi by calling the company in advance.
