Transportation in Cyprus

Northern Cyprus is an island country located in the middle of the Mediterranean and is crowded with visitors from all over the world, especially during the summer months. This increasing number of tourists affects traffic, making public transportation services, which decrease in the winter months in Northern Cyprus, more frequent in the summer months.

Despite the country's small surface area, Northern Cyprus is a destination where taxi or car rental services are generally preferred over public transportation. In Cyprus, traffic moves in the left lane, not the right lane as in Turkey, and the steering wheel of the vehicles is on the right side.

In Cyprus, where distances between cities are short, you can quickly reach anywhere you want by taxi or rental car. In addition, private bus companies called Kombos or minibuses are among the transportation preferences of holidaymakers.

Rent a car:
Car rental, which is a comfortable option for transportation in Northern Cyprus, can be easily obtained from rent a car companies all over the country. You can rent the car you want from Ercan Airport or touristic city centers. To rent a car, you must be at least 25 years old and have a driver's license for at least 3 years.

There are many brands and models of diesel and gasoline vehicles in car rental services that offer economic advantages in long-term rentals. You can choose from luxury, mid-segment or entry-level vehicles.

Urban and Intercity Private Buses:
In Northern Cyprus, buses operated by private companies coordinate urban and intercity journeys. Buses known as "Kombos" usually cover main routes such as Nicosia, Kyrenia and Famagusta. The number of bus trips increases in the summer months, and departures occur hourly in the winter months.

Urban and Inter-District Minibuses:
Minibuses are another frequently preferred alternative for urban and inter-district transportation in Northern Cyprus. Minibuses depart from the city center and provide transportation to different points of the country at certain hourly intervals.

There are a few important points that will make your transportation easier while going on holiday in Northern Cyprus. You can reach Kyrenia Park AVM with Nicosia - Kyrenia minibuses or explore popular cities by using Nicosia - Kyrenia, Nicosia - Guzelyurt, Nicosia - Famagusta bus lines. To reach Ercan Airport, you can choose private shuttles departing from Nicosia, Kyrenia and Famagusta bus terminals.

While exploring the historical and natural beauties of Northern Cyprus, using transportation options correctly will make your holiday more enjoyable. Wishing you to create unforgettable memories!
