Paphos info-file

Infrastructure

Transport
The shortness of distances in Cyprus and the fact that nearly every family has at least one car, which is used for journeys both in and outside the cities, has curbed the development of public transport. In fact, public transport is confined mainly to urban bus services.

Taxi Services
There are many private taxi companies, and these provide services both within the cities and for journeys between the cities and other, non-urban, areas.

Road Network and Driving
The road network is being steadily improved with the aim of reducing accidents and of providing the easiest of access to all areas of Cyprus. There are four-lane motorways linking all the cities, and, generally, the roads are of a very good standard.
Vehicles in Cyprus are right-hand drive and driving is on the left. Fuel can be bought at money-operated pumps outside normal filling station hours.

Airports
In the areas controlled by the Republic of Cyprus there are two international airports (one at Larnaca and Paphos) through which more than six million tourists and other visitors pass annually.

Ports
There are two ports (Limassol and Larnaca). Many cruises, usually lasting from two to five days, are operated from Limassol to the Greek islands, Piraeus, Egypt, Israel and Lebanon.

Marinas
Cyprus has three marinas, one at Larnaca with capacity for 450 craft of varying size, one at the Agios Raphael hotel in Limassol with capacity for 227 craft and one at Latsi which opened recently and has capacity for about 200 craft. Boats are also accommodated at the small harbour of Kato Paphos.
