Cyprus cruise ports

Cyprus sits in the eastern Mediterranean, with coastal cities and an interior that offer different possibilities for a day ashore. A cruise terminal, town harbour and resort waterfront are not interchangeable starting points, so check the arrival details for your call. Decide how much of the day you want to spend travelling before choosing an excursion away from the coast. Use current operators for schedules and bookings, allowing for travel back to your particular cruise terminal or harbour as well as the outward journey. Confirm your ship's return time before setting off, particularly for an independent trip.

Getting into town

A walkable port isn't necessarily step-free. At tender ports, the walk starts at the landing. A fare may cover only part of the journey, so check the guide for the full route.

Compare walkable ports across destinations

How to read these comparisons

We only compare shuttles and public transport where walking isn't a clear yes. A bus or shuttle may cover only part of the way, or go somewhere else entirely, so check the guide for the route and what the ticket covers. Free shuttles come first. Fares are only put in order when the tickets are the same kind.

Not recorded: we haven't checked this yet, though the guide may say more. None: the guide records no such service. Not applicable: the comparison doesn't fit, either because the guide covers a route or several places, or because you can walk and a shuttle doesn't matter. Unknown fare: there's a service, but we don't have its price. Service unknown: we haven't confirmed the shuttle runs.

Times and distances run from the berth or landing to the landmark named in each guide. That isn't always the city on your itinerary. On the walking page, realistic walks come first, then conditional ones, then ports where walking isn't practical. Within each group, the shortest walks come first.
