Holidays to Cyprus, the island of love, offer much history and culture, but like all holidays you need to know what’s what. Here is your guide to some essential Cyprus tourist information to ensure your Cyprus holiday is a safe and organised one.

Don’t worry if your language skills are a little rusty, as you’ll be happy to know that although the official languages of Cyprus are Greek and Turkish, English is spoken and widely understood across the island, making it easy to communicate with the locals.

Another of the most commonly asked questions with regard to tourist information in Cyprus is that of currency. As of January 2008, Cyprus became a part of the euro-zone, making the euro the official currency of Cyprus.

Holidays to Cyprus offer you that wonderful Mediterranean climate, making it a truly irresistible holiday destination. The temperature is at its hottest during the July to September period, often reaching the mid 30s, so it essential to get out those hats and bottles of sun-screen to protect you from the wonderful Cyprus sun.

Cyprus tourist information advises you to drink plenty of water to keep you hydrated and while the tap water on the island will not make you ill, bottled water is highly recommended. 

The island’s emergency numbers are a vital piece of tourist information for anyone planning their holidays to Cyprus. For the police, ambulance and fire services either dial 199 or 112, English is spoken on these lines so you’ll be sure to get through without any problems.
