Practical tips for Cyprus
- Traffic moves on the left-hand side of the road with UK-style plug sockets (Type G), making rental car navigation and device charging straightforward for Commonwealth travelers.
- The Republic of Cyprus uses the Euro (€); while cards are widely accepted, carry cash for mountain village tavernas and crossing checkpoints into Northern Nicosia.
- When visiting monasteries and rural Orthodox churches, dress modestly by keeping shoulders and knees covered; wraps are often provided at the entrance.
Fun fact about Cyprus
