Road freight between Lithuania and Cyprus

Road and sea route from Lithuania to Cyprus

A load from Lithuania reaches Cyprus by road and by sea. The road leg from Klaipėda to the port of Lavrio near Athens is about 2,990 km. It runs through Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria. In Lavrio, the truck or trailer boards a ro-ro ship to the port of Limassol.

A ro-ro ship sails from Lavrio to Limassol and back, by the operator’s published timetable. The ship carries trucks and trailers. The distance in the facts table covers the road leg only, and the sea crossing comes on top. Cyprus and Lithuania use the same time all year.

RNJ Transport books a checked partner carrier for each load. Before booking, we check that the carrier can take the route, including the sea crossing. We give you the planned delivery date with the price.

Road tolls and truck rules on the route to Cyprus

On the road leg, the truck pays the toll of each EU country on the route. Poland, Slovakia and Hungary charge trucks over 3.5 t per kilometre. Greek motorways have toll stations. On the Athens–Thessaloniki motorway, trucks and vehicles with four or more axles pay their own rates at each station.

The price we give you includes the tolls and the sea crossing. Greece can limit trucks on main roads around some public holidays and in summer. The Hellenic Police announce the roads, days and hours. Poland, Slovakia and Hungary also have truck bans on some days, for example on summer weekends. Ask us how these days affect your loading date.

Documents for loads between Lithuania and Cyprus

Both countries are in the EU customs territory, so EU goods travel between them without an export declaration and without customs formalities. Every load travels with a CMR consignment note. Add the invoice and a packing list, so the receiver can check the goods at delivery.

If the route crosses a country outside the EU, the load travels with a transit document. Goods from outside the EU that are not yet cleared also need a transit document. Tell us before loading.
