Toll in Cyprus
What is a toll (requirement)?
Most countries in Europe charge toll fees. There is a so-called toll obligation. But what does that mean? For the use of many highways and expressways as well as tunnels and bridges, so-called toll fees are charged. The funds collected through tolls are invested, for example, in the road network. This ensures you a smooth journey on your way to your vacation. The primary areas for investment are infrastructure, traffic management, road safety, and environmental protection measures.
Infrastructure: Construction and maintenance of roads and highways
Road safety and traffic management: new technologies such as intelligent traffic systems or toll gantries
Environmental protection: expansion of noise barriers or measures to reduce emissions
How are tolls collected in Cyprus?
In Cyprus there are no toll roads. Therefore, you can use the country's road network without any problems. Please note, however, that this toll-free situation only applies to Cyprus and different conditions may apply in other countries. In addition, left-hand traffic is practiced in Cyprus (unlike many other European countries). If you plan to travel with your own car and organize a road trip with a ferry from Turkey or Greece, you should read our guide about tolls in Turkey and tolls in Greece. However, the most common way to travel is by plane or by renting a car locally.
