its even worse from paphos airport. last year two tourist after listening for a price for the taxi : 30CP, where hopelessly looking for "the" bus. after a while they realised that "bus" is an unknow word in cyprus, so they paid the price to go to paphos...thats calles respect for the tourist and giving quality product.
but talking in english and getting ripped... well it happens to athens, also, everytime. as soon as they listen to my cypriot accent, it doesnt matter how hard i try to hide it, then they automatically start charging extra for their "rich cypriot brothers"
