Not for the faint-hearted: a bus trip to the mountains

When I was talking to people ahead of coming to Cyprus for the summer, one recurring issue I was warned about was the public buses. Buses in Cyprus, I heard, are totally unreliable. They don’t come on time, or they don’t come at all. You can’t trust them to get you to where you need […]
