Driving in Cyprus
Another reason why many people choose Cyprus for their future
residence is the few changes they will have to adopt when
living in a new country, and one of these is that everyone
drives on the left.
Driving in Cyprus is most advisable as regular transport service
is not available to all remote areas where many places of
interest are to be found.
Fairly good surfaced roads complying with international
traffic requirements link the towns and the various villages.
Four lane motorways connect the capital, Nicosia with the
coastal towns of Limassol, Larnaca and one part of Paphos.
Minor roads and forest roads are still largely unsurfaced
but in good to fair condition. Appropriate care should be
taken when using these roads, especially during wet weather.
Visitors wishing to bring their car to Cyprus can do so,
for a period up to 3 months provided the car has a valid
registration license of its country of origin. The period
may be extended accordingly, provided the person is considered
a visitor by the Department of Customs & Excise.
HANDS FREE DURING DRIVING IS MANDATORY
During driving, the driver should take all necessary measures,
so that his/her hands are free at all times in order to
have full control of the vehicle. Therefore the use of a
mobile phone is strictly prohibited.
DRIVING LICENCE
Visitors in Cyprus can drive using a valid International
driving license, or their National driving license, provided
it is valid for the class of vehicle they wish to drive.
Cyprus Driving License: £35 for a lifetime.
