From Larnaki to Paphos, from Nicosia to Troodos, drivers encounter poor lighting, narrow turns, potholes and overload of roads. Despite the promises of the authorities, accidents take place regularly, and roads sometimes pose a fatal threat. Here is a list of the six most dangerous sections of the country's road network.
Andrea Muzaki Street in Larnak
On the map
The road leading from the stadium. Antonis Papadopulos into Livadia, gradually turns into one of the most dangerous in Cyprus. In the afternoon and evening, emergency situations or accidents occur here. Locals are asking the police to take measures rather.
On the evening of July 20, a 28-year-old motorcyclist almost died here, whose vehicle collided with a car. The man rode towards the Kokkinese district when he collided with a car that was traveling in the opposite strip. From the blow of the motorcyclist, it was thrown a few meters forward. He was hospitalized, but released home on the same day. There were two in the car, a driver of 40 years old and his brother is 38 years old. After the accident, one of them hurriedly left the scene of the accident. The police who arrived at the scene of the incident found that the motorcycle had no license plates, and the car had neither insurance, no paid road tax, nor IOT.
In this part of Andrea Muzaki Street, poor lighting and very intense movement. The authorities promised to expand the roadway, establish new lights and make sidewalks here, but only in 2026.
Road Nicosia - Kokkinotrimifia
On the map
The territory around the village of Kokkinotrimifia and the road leading from Nicosia to this village are extremely dangerous. There are many potholes, bumps of road surface and limited visibility. Turns, continuous rises and descents make driving difficult and dangerous, especially for those who are not ready for difficult conditions. In recent years, several traffic accidents have been registered in this area, mainly due to the poor condition of the carriageway and a limited number of road signs. At night, accidents occur more often, since drivers do not see dangerous areas.
Limassol - Lamia polemiad
On the map
One of the most sad and dangerous roads in Cyprus. It has several dangerous turns and steep rise, which make it difficult to drive, especially for those who are not familiar with the area. In recent years, the road has been a landfill for constant repairs. In particular, the work included the expansion of the carriageway, the modernization of lighting and the installation of new signs. Despite good intentions, these works lead to traffic jams and limiting the traffic flow, which creates additional risks for drivers.
Nicosia is a prodromos
On the map
Nicosia's road - Prodromos is known for its steepness and narrow turns, which make it dangerous, especially during bad weather. During rain and snow, it is very slippery here. In recent years, several accidents have occurred here, mainly due to weather conditions and the inability of drivers to deal with management and regulate the speed in accordance with the conditions.
Paphos - Chrysochus policy
On the map
The Paphos road - the Chrysochus policy passes through areas with steep climbs and narrow turns. Visibility in some places is limited, and the lack of lighting at night increases risks. Rain and fog worsen the situation, making the route even more dangerous. Accidents in this area usually occur due to high speed and steepness of the road. A fatal accident is not so frequent, but serious injuries are often found.
Larnaka-Aiya-Napa (between xylophag and sotira)
On the map
This road is known for its many turns and intensive movement, especially in the summer. The density of movement increases the likelihood of an accident due to sharp inhibition and delays. And steep turns require drivers of increased attention: at high speed, you can not fit into them.
