Cyprus is well connected via sea, air and telecommunications with the whole world. Due to its advanced telecommunications network and the superb regional and global connectivity on offer, the island is considered as one of the most important telecommunication hubs in the Eastern Mediterranean and the Middle East region. This is also enhanced by an extensive submarine fibre optic cable network and access to major satellite systems.
Cyprus role as a regional commercial and business centre coupled with the increasing tourist traffic had fostered the progress of a wide network of air-routes offering excellent connections with Europe, Africa, and Asia. The country’s two international airports are situated near Larnaca and Paphos, while a build-operate-transfer (BOT) contract was signed for the construction of the new Larnaca and Paphos airports.
The multi-purpose ports of Limassol and Larnaca are the country’s main sea gateways for seaborne cargo and passenger traffic. Both ports have become important regional warehouse and distribution centres.
