DRIVING AND TRANSPORT

In Cyprus you drive on the left. A car is easily the best way to get around the Island, but public transport is widely available, and services are cheap frequent and efficient.

Cyprus law states that seat belts must be worn (front and rear), drinking and driving is not allowed and helmets must be worn when riding motorcycles.

The max speed, unless otherwise stated is 100kph on motorways and 80kph on main roads. In built up areas the limit is 50kph. Often there will be a minimum speed sign as well.

The minimum age for driving in Cyprus is 18, you can drive in Cyprus on your UK licence but you are required by law to obtain a Cypriot licence if you stay for more than 6 months.
