Changes

In the North buses are a little expensive, but frequent and fast & hitching quite easy. In the South public transportation is slow but incredibly cheap. You you can move around a single region for one or two Euro, and for this reason most people will be confused as to why you're hitch-hiking. Never the less, it's quite easy to find a ride, even within the city, but be sure that they take you to a good location if not going to your destination. Many times I have been dropped off in the middle of nowhere, or even right on the motorway, of which, the police aren't too understanding. In rural areas and in Troodos mountains it's easy to hitchhike, even with little traffic, everyone stops for you, even without asking. The locals simply put out their hand with the palm to the ground, but all seem to understand the thumb, and this is probably good for you as a sign that you're a traveller.
