Top tips on Cyprus Driving
Tip 1: Cyprus driving is on the LEFT...great if you live in the UK but not so great if you live elsewhere in Europe or beyond.
Tip 3: All foreigners on the island say that Cypriots are the worst drivers in Europe! This is mainly because they never LOOK before pulling out of a junction or before overtaking. Tip 4: Most petrol stations in Cyprus have 24 hour pumps but SOME older machines only take an old form of money so make sure you have your credit card with you. Tip 5: Cyprus driving has been made much easier in the last few years through major improvements to most roads on the island. But beware of going onto roads marked in YELLOW on the tourist maps. These are often part tarmac, part dirt road...and you often don't discover the dirt road section until you have gone halfway to your chosen destination. It all adds to the FUN of driving in Cyprus but you might wish you had hired a 4x4 vehicle!
P.S. Have you ever wondered why there are so many PICK-UP TRUCKS on the island? Pick-ups are classed as AGRICUTURAL vehicles so you do not have to pay duty on them when buying a new vehicle. Commonly known as "double cabs", they are MUCH CHEAPER than the equivalent vehicle with a closed in "rear end". This is why so many foreigners who move to the island end up buying a pick-up truck.
