 Highway to Nicosia by yurxlnc
It is more difficult when driving up into the mountain areas where roads are narrower and steeper, but they are also less crowded. Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home

flight info as per
may 2005
http://www.topkinisis.com/
This company is Olympic rep in Cyprus regarding direct flights sales.
ONE WAY FLIGHTS:
LARNACA / PAPHOS TO LONDON

www.olympicholidays.co.uk
if you go to Paphos ( Pafos ),
then there is only one place to hire a brand new car/jeep or bike.
this place is called
Max-Rentals Tel +357-99-683222, managed by a real gentleman named Akis. he hires only clean and new cars at the best deals in town.
he has e-mail as well. An SMS to his GSM phone will secure you a fuss-free hire around Paphos ( Pafos ) area.
as summer gets very busy in Paphos area, make sure you book the right car 2-3 weeks in advanced.
if you are young enough a bike is equally good choice.
requirements:
make sure you have a European valid license, wear your helmet and do not get drunk before you ride.
remember that in Cyprus cars drive in left side of the road, bikes as well.......
if you are Russian stay away from vodka.
instead of vodka try the local divine spirit called zivania. drunk cold, LOEL or KEO are the best brands, very cheap and clear.
remember drink only if your bed is within walking distance from the bar otherwise you will be engaged in an accident.
this will spoil your and other people's holidays and smash your head and car.
.......during WRC season, ask Alister Mcray and other champion drivers to take you for round inside the Troodos forest.
He will take off your brains with his WRC car. Leave a Comment Theme: Motorcycle

 topless model in yellow by MrBill
My experience with a cabrio was as follows. Either it was too windy on the road or it was too hot. I baked in my car with temperatures of 30 degrees Celsius and the sun beaming down. Nevermind in summer when the temperature in over 40 degrees. I wore a hat and suncreen, but still ended-up getting a sunburn. And, it was quite a bit more expensive than a regular car with air conditioning.
So, do what you like, but my advice is to rent a small car with air conditioning. I rented a Peugot 206 and it was more than adequate for Cyprus. The distances are not that great. It is only about 70 kms from one city to the next and it is only about 150 kms from one side of the island to the other.
When you bring the car back make sure it is full of gas. You don't want to have to pay up to CYP 25 for refilling the tank when maybe all you need is CYP 10-15 to fill-up. Regular unleaded gasoline costs CYP 46 cents per liter.
You will notice all rental cars have red license plates and that all Cypriot cars have yellow ones. I guess this is so other motorists can stay well clear of tourists that may not be used to driving on the lefthand side of the road?

 the old style still used in
the Troodos Mtns. by MrBill
Buses depart from the Municipal Market Park Place in Limassol and ends up in Nicosia at Solomos Square or vice versa.
Buses run Monday through Friday from 06.00 until 17.30 departure. Saturdays from 07.00 until 14.00, and on Sundays starting at 09.00 until 17.30 departure time.
It takes 45 minutes to drive from Limassol city limits to Nicosia city limits. The bus takes longer. A monthly bus pass costs CYP60-75.
I have not found any information yet on other cities, such as Larnaca and Pafos where the international airports are located. However, I will try to post that information later when I have it. Thanks.

There are no trains, and only limited buses serving the villages round the main centres (Nicosia, Larnaca, Limassol).
The only real option is the "taxis". Until a couple of years ago, these were huge stretch mercedes cars which could hold about eight people, but now minibusses seem to do the job. Actually, whilst the Mercs were quite fun, the air-con minibusses are more comfortable. They ply the routes between the main centres and are relatively inexpensive.
If you can speak enough Greek you can get them to pick you up wherever you want (home etc.) but for the traveller it's probably easier to go to the office. They are relatively inexpensive. and pretty reliable.
round town, the ordinary taxis are OK. the are virtually all white Mercs and have registration numbers beginning with T. Leave a Comment Theme: Bus

- it's a Cyprus based charter airline.
AVOID IT!
I have never experienced worse service, more rude flight attendants or less seat space in any other airline I have travelled with. It is by far the most horrible experience in the air. Leave a Comment

 Louis Cruise Lines by MrBill
The cost is about CYP175 ($368) per person for a deluxe cabin, including meals on board. I personally found this a little too expensive, given that the accomodation and meals were adequate, but nothing special. However, you have to consider the price versus flying from Larnaca to Beirut - CYP100 - and then booking a hotel in Beirut for 2-nights? I am sure there are cheaper ways to see Beirut, but this is an easy way. Leave a Comment Theme: Ship/BoatPhone: Tel: +357 25 570000Website: www.louiscruises.com Other Contact: downtown Limassol
