Carry the Only Necessary. Avoid Heavy Luggage!

by greekcypriot

I suggest that you carry your very old luggage or bag because you will find very cheap bags and Leather suitcases in Cyprus. If you have a very old one that you plan to get rid of, then carry it along, and after you buy your new one, leave it behind. Carry an adaptor with you. It is something that I always write first in my list when in Cyprus, because I fly from Greece. The standard electric current in Cyprus is 240 volts, a.c. 50Hz. Sockets are usually 13 amp. Carry with you light clothing and in bright colours because in summer it is quite hot. A flat pair of shoes, and many t-shirts. Carry with you a hat - or you can buy from the island of course - and your toiletries. Don't forget to bring all your medical supplies given from your doctor. Medicine and pills might be expensive to buy from drug stores! Don't forget to carry your camera's batteries and the wire to charge the camera,...

Tips for a Perfect Holiday in Cyprus

by greekcypriot

I would suggest carrying a light bag. Suitcases are very cheap on the island, and you will find a variety of them to buy. Carry only the necessary, it will save you from the trouble of carrying. Make sure you plan for weather as well because you will need plenty of sunscreen in this country. Pack plenty of loose fitting and light pieces of clothing for the daytime. Many people forget to pack a sweater to stay warm on those cooler evenings as it tends to cool off a bit. Pack both casual clothes - for a restaurant, and something dressier for a night out on the town. Don’t forget your beach clothes!!!Be prepared for a variety of weather conditions and you can be sure you are prepared for a great vacation! Cyprus is said to be an expensive country, but in case you forget something, don't worry you will find it in the market in Cyprus. Don't carry with you sun tan lotions, or shampoos and...

General

by hopang

A haversack or a rucksack or light travelling bag for walking around in Cyprus As Cyprus is very hot during the summer months, light clothing is necessary such as several pairs of t-shirts and shorts. Some fever tablets in case you fall sick and some multi vitamin tablets especially Vitamin C. Don't forget to bring along your medicines if you are on medication. A digital camera and/or video camera complete with accessories. Don't forget to bring along your swim suits if you decide to swim at the Mediterranean Sea. Sunshades and hats are necessary to protect your eyes against the strong sunlight especially during the summer months.. Map and travel guide on Cyprus

Cyprus Babies Equipment Hire

by cyprus4holidays

Travelling to Cyprus with babies or young children.You may want to think about hiring car seats, buggies, booster seats, high chairs - rather than trying to bring everything with you. There are some companies who do offer these services and their details can be found below:PAPHOS AREA: Dave & Jo McCannhttp://www.tinytotsequipmenthirecyprus.com/LIMASSOL AREAhttp://cypruswithbabies.moonfruit.comEAST COAST (Larnaca, Protaras, Ayia Napa)http://www.holihire.com/

Electrical items & plugs

by cyprus4holidays

Cyprus uses the typical UK style - 3 pin electric sockets, so no need to bring 2 pin adapters. However, if you are prone to mosquito bites you may want to bring or buy a plug in repellent and for this, you will usually need to bring a shaver adapter to convert a 3 pin socket to a 2 pin.

wear protection

by MrBill

The intensity of the sun in Cyprus is no joke. The island lies at approximately 33 degrees and the ultraviolet rays reflect easily off the sand and the water magnifying their power to burn your skin in a very short period of time. I even got what amounted to a bit of a sunburn in late February from being out unprotected from the sun. What factor you wear is a personal choice, depending on your skin type and how easily you burn. I never go out to the beach or for a walk in the summer with less than a European 6 UV factor on (UV standards vary between Europe and N. America). However, when I am out for any length of time I will use up to a 25-30 UV factor, especially on my face or any exposed areas that are starting to turn pinkish.I reapply after being in the water and towelling off even though most quality suntan lotions are supposedly waterproof. I find they wear off in the salt and/or...

Mozzie spray-light clothes-sunglasses-brand drink

by rachel_sun

I used my suitcase which had a 20kg weight allowance and also took a small back pack which I put my camera and bottled water and sunlotion in when I went out. Try to pack very light weight clothes such as cotton and loose fitting things that will keep you cool.I took only a few items and washed them through out my trip.Bring a good pair of walking boots if you plan to go hiking in the Troodos mountains.If you visit in winter bring a good warm coat. I took plenty of sun creams and mozzie sprays and my mum took her special medication for bites.I always take asprin along too. I used my digital camera and made sure I had my battery charger and spare batteries and a spare memory card. Water sports gear is not really worth bringing as it is easily bought and rented in Cyprus. Brand name drinks such as Malibu and Bacardi Rum is very expensive in Cyprus.Either drink the local stuff or buy...
