How to organise a trip to Cyprus

Cyprus is a destination that captivates a huge number of tourists from all over the world every year. With an average of more than 3 million visitors a year, the island attracts both those seeking relaxation on its golden beaches and crystal-clear waters, and history and culture enthusiasts wishing to explore its ancient ruins and archaeological treasures.

Breathtaking beaches, such as the famous Nissi Beach in Ayia Napa and the tranquil Fig Tree Bay in Protaras, are a big draw for those wishing to enjoy the sun and sea in peace. However, Cyprus has much more to offer beyond its shores: from the picturesque mountain villages of Troodos to historic cities such as Nicosia and Paphos, the island offers a variety of experiences to suit all tastes. Visitors are also attracted by the many traditional festivals, culinary festivals and outdoor activities that characterise life on the island.

Documents

Before setting off on a trip to Cyprus, it is essential to ensure that you have all the necessary documents in order. For EU citizens, it is sufficient to carry a valid identity card that is valid for foreign travel and not expired for the duration of your stay. For non-EU citizens, it is necessary to carry a valid passport. However, it is always advisable to check the specific requirements of the country of origin and consult the relevant travel authorities for any updates or additional requirements.

Language

In Cyprus, the two official languages are Greek and Turkish. Although most of the population is fluent in English, it is useful to learn a few basic phrases in the local language to facilitate daily interactions and show respect for Cypriot culture and tradition.

Climate

The climate in Cyprus is typically Mediterranean, with hot, dry summers and mild winters. During the summer months, temperatures can easily reach 30-35 degrees Celsius, while in winter they hover around 10-15 degrees. It is advisable to dress light during the summer and bring a jumper or light jacket for the cooler evenings in winter.

Transport and business hours

Public transport in Cyprus is fairly efficient and mainly includes buses. However, it is important to bear in mind that transport timetables may vary depending on the season and destination. It is advisable to check bus timetables and plan your travel accordingly. Shops usually open from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. and from 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., closing during lunchtime. However, many shops and supermarkets also remain open at weekends to cater to the needs of visitors and residents.
