Useful tips for Cyprus

Whether you choose to enjoy the sun on the coast, explore ancient ruins, or discover the local cuisine, Cyprus offers you a balanced and charming vacation.

Bargaining is not a common practice in modern stores or shopping centers, but occasionally you can try to get a better price at local markets or souvenir stands.

Cypriot coffee is highly regarded and is part of the locals' daily life. In many traditional taverns or cafes, a coffee or a glass of water is offered as a gesture of hospitality.

Lightweight clothing made from natural materials like cotton or linen, in light colors, is ideal for the island's warm climate. For visits to monasteries or churches, a modest attire is recommended, with shoulders and knees covered. Hats and sunglasses are essential.

Taxi transport is safe, but it can be more expensive, especially over long distances. Renting a car is a popular option, considering that Cyprus drives on the left side of the road.

The use of drones is permitted, but it is regulated. Drones must be registered, and authorization is required for certain areas or flights, especially near archeological sites or airports.

The costs for phone calls, messages, and internet are reasonable, as Cyprus is part of the European Union. If you have an EU SIM card, roaming is usually included at no extra cost.
