Shipping to Limassol
Limassol, on the south coast, is Cyprus's main port and the island's business centre, with many shipping, technology and finance companies. It serves Limassol, Paphos and the Troodos mountain villages.
Practical tips. Limassol has a large international community, and many Canadians relocate or retire here. Household goods are cleared under EU rules with an inventory and proof of residence. Commercial goods need the CE mark where applicable, as the tariff conditions note.
Summer is very hot, so avoid leaving sensitive cargo in unshaded trucks. Choose Limassol over Nicosia for smaller shipments, since Nicosia has a 2 CBM minimum.
Limassol's marina and seafront towers house many international companies, and English is widely spoken. Cyprus uses the euro and drives on the left.
The new Limassol marina area and the old town are a short drive from the port, so collection is quick.
