Transportation

 

Traveling around Cyprus is fairly easy as there are several different modes of transport available:

BUS

There are three types of buses in Cyprus that can help you move around:

  • Trans-urban  buses that link all towns on a daily basis and with frequent routes              
  • Rural  buses that link almost all villages with the nearest city but with limited frequency once or twice daily except Sundays. 
  • Urban  buses that link different areas within the cities and operate frequently during daytime. In certain tourist areas, during summer period, their routes are extended till late in the evening.

 

TAXI

There are different types of taxi services available, covering the entire island:  

  • SALUS Taxi Service.

Our drivers are on call 24/7 to meet your specific requirements. Whether you wish to be dropped off in town, or go on a day trip, our preferred Taxi Service is available to make your stay memorable, trained particularly in taking your physical needs into account. We have also negotiated reduced service rates on your behalf.

  • Trans - urban service

This service offers the opportunity to share a taxi with 4 - 7 other passengers. It provides connection between all major cities of Cyprus, every half an hour, from Monday to Friday starting at 06:00 in the morning until 18:00 in the evening. On Saturdays and Sundays the service finishes an hour earlier at 17:00. Seats can be booked by phone or online from the providing companies.
