Cyprus

Cyprus offers coastal resorts, archaeological sites and long-stay accommodation across two main visitor regions.

Terrain and getting around

Pavement continuity, kerbs and gradients vary more than resort marketing may suggest. Heat and sun exposure also affect realistic travel distance.

Accessibility is personal: distance, gradient, surface, heat and crowding affect travellers differently. Trace the complete route from the accommodation to the places that matter, including the return journey.

Choosing where to stay

Paphos, Limassol, Larnaca and Ayia Napa are distinct bases. Choose by airport, terrain and the facilities needed rather than island-wide descriptions.

Ask for the narrowest doorway, lift dimensions, bathroom transfer space, bed height and a step-free route to every hotel facility that will be used. Obtain important commitments in writing.

Airport transfers and local transport

Nearest airport: Larnaca or Paphos Airport. Confirm the correct airport and transfer duration before booking. Remain-in-wheelchair vehicles may need significant notice.

Tell the transfer company whether the traveller can move into a vehicle seat or must remain in the wheelchair. Provide chair or scooter dimensions, combined weight, companion numbers and luggage details.

Mobility equipment hire

Mobility Abroad no longer accepts bookings or payments. We provide independent preparation information and links to selected providers so travellers can arrange equipment directly.

Confirm model, safe user weight, dimensions, charging, delivery, collection, damage cover and breakdown support. Match the equipment to the local terrain and the accommodation rather than selecting by price alone.

Practical local advice

Ask equipment providers to confirm their delivery and breakdown area because island-wide coverage should not be assumed.

Before booking Cyprus

• Check the exact hotel street and surrounding gradients.
• Request room, bathroom and lift measurements.
• Arrange airline assistance and an appropriate airport transfer.
• Confirm equipment delivery and emergency support in writing.
• Recheck important arrangements shortly before departure.
