Cheap Flights to Cyprus

Useful advice for travelling to Cyprus (CYP)

According to ancient legends, the goddess of love Aphrodite was born in the island of Cyprus. Unsurprisingly, Cyprus is considered to be among the world’s most beautiful locations. The shores of the island country are washed up by probably the cleanest sea waters, and both locals and country guests alike are greeted by hot sun most of the year. Cheap flights to Cyprus provide an opportunity to relax and get a better look at the home land of Aphrodite. This island country is definitely a great choice for all romantic couples, as it offers a perfect honeymoon trip route.

Preparing for the trip

There are no compulsory vaccination requirements for entering the country. However, you still should consider getting vaccinated against infectious diseases, for example: hepatitis A and B, typhoid fever, diphtheria, tetanus, and cholera.

Summer time lasts from May to October in Cyprus. This is a perfect time to visit the country, as sun is especially bright then and the temperatures are high. Mostly clear skies and a gentle breeze create perfect conditions for swimming, diving, and sunbathing.

Transportation and travel charges

If you’re thinking about renting a car, remember that Cyprus uses the left-hand-traffic system. Local and inter-city buses are available both at day and at night, and you can look up the exact timetables on the internet. Usually, a one kilometre taxi ride will cost you 1 euro, while public transport tickets cost approximately 1.50 euro. You will pay about 1.20 for a litre of gasoline.

Europeans are able to easily pay for their purchases while in Cyprus, as the country uses euros as currency. Living costs in Cyprus are somewhat higher than in Lithuania. For example, you can order a lunch meal in a cheap restaurant for up to 10 euros and buy a cup of coffee for about 3. In local shops, a 1.5 litre water bottle will cost you 70 euro cents; you can buy a dozen eggs for about 2.50 euro, while one kilogram vegetables will cost you from 0.40 to 1.80 euros.

Additional information:

• Cyprus belongs to the UTC +2 time zone, which is switched to UTC +3 for the summer.
• Official languages are Greek and Turkish. However, in tourist zones, you will also be able to communicate in English.
• Distance from Vilnius to Cyprus’s capital Nicosia is 2259 kilometres.

Best return gifts choices

Return gifts are best sought out in little souvenir shops instead of the airport; this way, you won’t be disappointed with the quality of your chosen items. Most popular purchases are handmade white gold, silver, and sea shell jewellery, along with laces and icons. Everyone who has a sweet tooth will love traditional local delicacy soujoukos (grape must rolls made with nuts), and fruit in honey. Olive oil, wine, and traditional goat and sheep milk cheese Halloumi will also make great return gifts.
