Many towns and urban areas are accessible by wheelchair, although infrastructure is not uniformly accessible and improvements are ongoing.
Where accessibility is uncertain, wheelchair users may need an accompanying person for additional assistance.
Accessible transport can be arranged with prior notice. Special buses may include low-gradient ramps, safety belts and air conditioning. Special taxis may also be available for passengers travelling in a wheelchair.
Plan ahead and confirm the vehicle and assistance available with the transport provider.
Accessibility information is provided within the individual attraction listings on the official Cyprus tourism portal. Check each attraction before visiting for current information about access, facilities and services.
Cyprus has beaches with full or partial wheelchair accessibility. Accessible facilities are identified in the relevant beach information on the official tourism portal.
Because beach access and facilities can vary, check the current information before travelling.
