Plates

Plates white EU or UK-style yellow rear, mostly w/ EU strip; red rental plates common

General

Drives on the left (ex-UK colony - UK-style signs & road lines too)

Malta: Maltese/English + globigerina limestone → Malta; Greek script → Cyprus.

United Kingdom: Mediterranean landscape + Greek → Cyprus.

Language

Greek + English (Greek alphabet, soft lowercase shapes)

Greece: Cyprus drives LEFT + English co-signage; Greece drives right.

Cars

Mostly Gen4 smallcam (low mount, big blur, front protrusion) - sometimes a short antenna visible at the back

Greece: Antenna → Cyprus. Driving side decides anyway.

Bollards

Bollards like Turkish ones (red front / white back reflector) but triangular with a slanted top, not flat

Turkey: Turkish ones are flat; Cypriot triangular + slanted.

Signs unique here

Directional signs ≈ Greek ones - but Greek text is NOT all-caps (Greece: all-caps); town-entry signs (yellow w/ red border or white, bilingual + speed limit above) are unique to Cyprus

Utility

Tall dark-brown wooden poles (like Greece); poletops: crossbar w/ 0/3 insulators, 5 side insulators, or harp-shaped frame - the symmetric 3-insulator top is Cyprus-specific

Greece: The symmetric 3-insulator top → Cyprus; driving side otherwise.

Arch

Brightly painted stone buildings, tiled or flat roofs (Greek-like); houses often carry a white horizontal cylindrical water tank w/ circular lid

Landscape

Mediterranean: bright exposed rock, olive/palm/cypress trees, green coastal farmland, pine-forest mountains inland

Regional 5

General

Only the southern half covered (Republic + Akrotiri & Dhekelia); road numbers A/B/E/F grouped by first digit (E/F near matching B road); 5 provinces = 2-digit area codes (2x); postal codes 4-digit on street signs (T.K./T.T.)

Landscape

Terrain = compass: centre = highest; white limestone → south coast; reddish soil → interior + NW; vineyards → SW; wild mustard (yellow flowers) → mostly east; dark red fields → north + Famagusta

Landscape

Paphos Forest: windy mountain roads, red soil, uninhabited - and (almost) no bollards; NE: Kyrenia ridge visible north over flat farmland; NE also has black-top bollards (Slovenia-like)

Cars unique here

Famagusta (far east): flat + red fields - and ALL coverage is shitcam (rare elsewhere on the island)

Utility

Wind turbines in 2 clusters: west of Larnaca (sandy rolling farm hills) + SW of Anogyra (Oreites Forest, incline toward the visible coast)

Specific spots 1

Landscape unique here

Spotlights: snow coverage near Panagia Machaira monastery; dashed blue lines between road markings around Mount Olympus; banana plantations around Peyia (west coast); Limassol = Russian on many commercial signs (17% Russian-speaking)
