<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;">No, you don't need to pay any tolls to drive on Cyprus roads - there are absolutely no toll roads, bridges, or tunnels anywhere on the island. Cyprus maintains one of Europe's most comprehensive toll-free highway systems.</p>
