Connections & Telecommunications to the Outside World

Due to its location and up-to-date seaport and airport facilities, Cyprus has become an important shipping and air transit centre.

Larnaca and Pafos International Airports operate more then 250 flights weekly from Cyprus. Limassol and Larnaca ports have made Cyprus the cruise centre for the Eastern Mediterranean.

There are public transport bus services within towns and scheduled taxi and mini bus services between towns. Private taxis and rental cars are readily available.

Telecommunications in Cyprus are of the highest standards: Cyprus ranks in the top five countries with state of the art telecommunications. Direct dialling to over 200 countries is possible. There are also telegraph, telex, facsimile, data transmission and mobile phone facilities freely available. There are six TV stations and one cable station and numerous local radio stations. Nearly 50 per cent of the TV programmes are in the English language. Satellite dishes can provide international television connections.
