F.A.Q

ABOUT CYPRUS

 Cyprus combines a remarkable array of services, sights and attractions into such a small space: great infrastructure, excellent venues and hotels, museums and archaeological sites, throbbing beach resorts, medieval fortresses, age-old temples and Cool Mountains. Even though Cyprus is a European Union member, its unique location between three continents, combined with the very high standard of living and excellent climate (around 340 days of sunshine every year), make Cyprus one of the most attractive meeting places of the world.

What is the official language in Cyprus?

A: The official language is Greek. However, English is the second language and is understood and spoken by almost everybody. In addition, many people speak fluently French, German, Russian, Spanish, and many other languages.

What is the official currency in Cyprus?

A: The currency of the Republic is the Euro (€). People may also exchange other currencies for the Euro at any bank or at their hotel (may be a higher rate).
The design of the Cypriot euro coins:

  • 1 cent, 2 cent and 5 cent: The Mouflon, the most characteristic species of fauna in Cyprus, representing the island’s nature and wildlife.
  • 10 cent, 20 cent and 50 cent: The Kyrenia ship of 4th Century B.C., representing Cyprus’s history and its character as an island as well as its importance in trade.
  • 1 and 2 Euro: The Idol of Pomos, a cross-shaped idol dating back to the Cypriot chalcolithic period (3000 B.C.), found in Pomos, a village in the district of Paphos. It is a characteristic example of prehistoric art in Cyprus, representing the island’s antiquity, culture and civilization.
What is the political situation in Cyprus?

A: Cyprus gained EU membership in 2004; however this only applies in practice to the Greek Cypriot community.
In 1974 Cyprus was divided de facto when the Turkish army occupied the northern third of the island. The political situation in the occupied area of Cyprus, which is not under the effective control of the Government of the Republic of Cyprus, is NOT a recognized state, it is dominated by the presence of the Turkish occupation forces, the Turkish mainland settlers and the overwhelming influence of Turkey.

TRAVELLING TO/WITHIN CYPRUS

 How many airports are there in Cyprus?

A: There are two brand new airports on the island. The main airport is Larnaca International Airport (LCA) with many connections to the world, and the second one is the Paphos International Airport (PFO).

Q: Which airlines fly to Cyprus?

A: There are many airlines flying to Cyprus, including many of the major ones (British Airways, Austrian Airlines, Lufthansa, KLM, Emirates, Etihad, Olympic, Aegean, Easyjet, RyanAir etc). Please refer to the official Cyprus airports website www.cyprusairports.com.cy for a complete list of all airlines flying into Cyprus and their latest schedules.

Q: Do I need a visa in order to visit Cyprus?

A: Please note that Cyprus is a member of the European Union. Residents of non-EU countries should hold valid Schengen visas to stay in the Republic of Cyprus. For more information, please visit the “Travel Section” of the conference website, or the official website of the Cyprus Ministry of Foreign Affairs, www.mfa.gov.cy.

 Can I reach Cyprus through Ercan Airport?

A: Ercan airport is located in the occupied North and is not a recognized port of entry into the Republic of Cyprus. Thus, landing there might cause problems for you when you try to cross the Green Line (De Facto Border). Furthermore, it should be mentioned that as the occupied North is not a recognized country, this might pose insurance problems in case of an accident while you visit Cyprus.
It is recommended to double-check with the Cyprus Ministry of Foreign Affairs, www.mfa.gov.cy, before travelling.
