Taxi & Transport Scams in Ayia Napa

Taxi Meter Avoidance and Overcharging

Taxis in Ayia Napa are legally required to use meters but drivers frequently negotiate flat rates with tourists that are significantly higher than the metered fare, particularly for runs to Nissi Beach or Protaras. Late-night runs from clubs back to hotels are a consistent overcharging flashpoint, with some drivers claiming the meter applies only during daylight.
