<p id="mwXw">After gaining independence from the United Kingdom in 1960, the Cypriot Constitution was created to ensure power-sharing between the Greek Cypriot majority and the Turkish Cypriot minority. However, tensions between the two groups escalated in 1974 when Greece and Turkey became involved in the conflict. As a result, Turkey ended up occupying 40% of the island, resulting in the establishment of the "Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus" (TRNC) in 1983.</p> <p id="mwYA">The TRNC is recognised only by Turkey, while all other governments and the United Nations recognise only the government of the Republic of Cyprus over the whole island. In order to maintain peace, the UN operates a peacekeeping force and a narrow buffer zone between the two Cypriot ethnic groups. </p> <p id="mwYQ">Whilst hostilities have been absent for some time, the island remains divided. However, the involvement of the European Union has led to increased efforts towards reunification between the two sides.</p> </section></section><section data-mw-section-id="7" id="mwYg"><div class="mw-heading mw-heading3" id="mwAbo"><h3 id="Climate">Climate</h3><span class="mw-editsection" id="mwAbs"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" id="mwAbw">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Cyprus&action=edit&section=7" title="Edit section: Climate" id="mwAb0"><span id="mwAb4">edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" id="mwAb8">]</span></span></div> <p id="mwYw">Subtropical Mediterranean with hot, dry summers and cool, wet winters in the lowlands.

Greek Cypriot culture is distinguished by a rich culinary legacy as well as a thriving music and dance scene. The majority of Greek Cypriots are Orthodox Christians.</p> <p id="mwaQ">In contrast, Turkish Cypriot culture is heavily influenced by Turkey. Turkish Cypriots make up around one-fifth of the population and have historically been sidelined in Cyprus's political and economic arenas.

After the accession, and according to EU legislation that considers Cyprus to have been admitted in full, an entry to the Turkish part is formally an entry to whole Cyprus and must therefore not result in any disadvantage to EU citizens. Citizens of non-EU member states (as, for instance, US/UK/Turkish citizens) must enter the island via one of the legal, according to the Republic of Cyprus, entry points (i.e. entry points in the southern part of the island) regardless of whether they want to visit the southern part or not.</p> <p id="mwog">Different entities and web pages claim different things. There are examples (from 2012) of people entering Northern Cyprus from Turkey, crossing the border with the south without any problems, although it was noticed when leaving Cyprus. There are legends about other people (not US/UK/AU nationals) getting EU-wide entry ban or having their naturalization requests denied after entering or exiting the island via the north, regardless of whether they visited the south or not.

Companies will typically not rent cars for fewer than three days, although some international vendors (Budget) will offer one or two day service for a high fee. Renting in advance can be beneficial as walk-in options are obviously limited to available cars. An alternative to traditional car hire is RideNow, an app-based rental service available to European license holders and a good option for travel within cities. As a former British colony, Cyprus drives on the <b id="mw3A">left</b> side of the road. However, driving standards are <b id="mw3Q">poor</b>. Drivers attack their art with an equal mix of aggressiveness and incompetence and view road rules as mere guidelines. Some main roads do not even have road markings and people often sound their horn, especially in Nicosia. Take care when crossing the roads, and even greater care when driving on them. If you are involved in an accident, do not move any of the involved cars, call your rental company and wait for an insurance adjuster to arrive at the scene. Unregistered and uninsured cars on the road are not unusual, and if you are involved in an accident with one of these vehicles the driver may try give you a phone number before fleeing the scene. Instruct them to leave their car where it is and threaten to call the police if they still insist on leaving, otherwise you may be liable for an accident that was not your fault. Highways are generally of excellent condition and quite traversable, but other roads vary greatly in quality. Be sure to keep left unless overtaking on highways, and expect to be aggressively tail-gated in the right lane unless moving 20 or 30 km/h over the 100 km/h signed limit. Fixed speed and red light cameras can be found in the middle of multiple major cities, particularly Nicosia and Limassol. Mobile speed cameras in white vans are sometimes parked along highways, and their locations usually reported by users on the Waze navigation app. Take care to avoid traffic enforcement cameras as authorities are pursuing tourists who accrue fines in rental vehicles more aggressively in recent times. As with surrounding countries, rental cars frequently use diesel fuel and manual transmission rentals are cheaper than automatic transmission, although typically only by a few euro.</p> </section></section><section data-mw-section-id="20" id="mw3g"><div class="mw-heading mw-heading2" id="mwAgg"><h2 id="See">See</h2><span class="mw-editsection" id="mwAgk"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" id="mwAgo">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Cyprus&action=edit&section=20" title="Edit section: See" id="mwAgs"><span id="mwAgw">edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" id="mwAg0">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb" id="mw3w"><a href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/File:Paphos_Marine,_Cyprus_-_panoramio_(1).jpg" class="mw-file-description" id="mw4A"><img resource="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/File:Paphos_Marine,_Cyprus_-_panoramio_(1).jpg" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/72/Paphos_Marine%2C_Cyprus_-_panoramio_%281%29.jpg/220px-Paphos_Marine%2C_Cyprus_-_panoramio_%281%29.jpg" decoding="async" data-file-width="1920" data-file-height="1280" data-file-type="bitmap" height="147" width="220" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/72/Paphos_Marine%2C_Cyprus_-_panoramio_%281%29.jpg/330px-Paphos_Marine%2C_Cyprus_-_panoramio_%281%29.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/72/Paphos_Marine%2C_Cyprus_-_panoramio_%281%29.jpg/440px-Paphos_Marine%2C_Cyprus_-_panoramio_%281%29.jpg 2x" class="mw-file-element" id="mw4Q"/></a><figcaption id="mw4g">The marina in Paphos</figcaption></figure> <ul id="mw4w"><li id="mw5A">The many archaeological and antiquities sites scattered around the island, dating from the New Stone Age through to the Roman Empire</li> <li id="mw5Q">The beautiful coastline of the island, still quite unspoilt in many places, is well worth exploring</li> <li id="mw5g">Nicosia, the capital as it has a wealth of history, preserved Venetian walls surrounding the city, some wonderful bars and restaurants within the old walls of the city and of course the 'green line', the dividing line with the Turkish part of Cyprus, which cuts through the centre of Nicosia, now the only divided capital</li> <li id="mw5w">The Troodos mountains, rising as high as 1,952 metres, offering some beautiful trail walks and also quaint little villages such as Kakopetria, Platres and Phini.

Dating back to <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/France" title="France" id="mw7w">French</a> rule and located in the heart of Nicosia's old town is Hamam Omerye, a working example of Cyprus' rich culture and diversity, stone struggle, yet sense of freedom and flexibility. The site's history dates back to the 14th century, when it stood as an Augustinian church of St Mary. Stone-built, with small domes, it is chronologically placed at around the time of Frankish and Venetian rule, approximately the same time that the city acquired its Venetian Walls. In 1571, Mustapha Pasha converted the church into a mosque, believing that this particular spot is where the prophet Omer rested during his visit to Lefkosia. Most of the original building was destroyed by Ottoman artillery, although the door of the main entrance still belongs to the 14th-century Lusignan building, whilst remains of a later Renaissance phase can be seen at the north-eastern side of the monument. In 2003, the EU funded a bi-communal UNDP/UNOPS project, "Partnership for the Future", in collaboration with Nicosia Municipality and Nicosia Master Plan, to restore the Hamam Omerye Bath, revitalising its spirit and sustaining its historical essence. The hamam is still in use, and after a restoration project, it has become a favourite place for relaxation in Lefkosia. In 2006 it received the Europa Nostra prize for the Conservation of Architectural Heritage.</li> <li id="mw8A">There are over 60 churches scattered across Cyprus with wall paintings, of which the ten churches in Troodos Mountains are inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List as Painted Churches in the Troödos Region.</li></ul> </section><section data-mw-section-id="21" id="mw8Q"><div class="mw-heading mw-heading2" id="mwAg4"><h2 id="Do">Do</h2><span class="mw-editsection" id="mwAg8"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" id="mwAhA">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Cyprus&action=edit&section=21" title="Edit section: Do" id="mwAhE"><span id="mwAhI">edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" id="mwAhM">]</span></span></div> <ul id="mw8g"><li id="mw8w">Mixed-religion couples from countries such as <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Israel" title="Israel" id="mw9A">Israel</a>, <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Lebanon" title="Lebanon" id="mw9Q">Lebanon</a> and <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Syria" title="Syria" id="mw9g">Syria</a>, who do not have access to non-religious marriage ceremonies at home, often choose Cyprus for <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Wedding_travel" title="Wedding travel" id="mw9w">wedding travel</a>, as they can tie the knot in a same-day civil ceremony.</li> <li id="mw-A">The Limassol Carnival is held every year on the Sunday before Ash Monday.

The Greek Cypriot south remains the best overall bet for jobs, as the South is where the majority of the tourist trade is located. The Turkish North is much harder to get work in as a traveler, as the local economy is in a precarious position and high local unemployment means competition for work is fierce.</p> <p id="mwAT0">Seasonal employment will most probably involve working in one of the countless bars, hotels and resort complexes of the south. Such work is usually poorly paid, but accommodation is often thrown in as some compensation and the Cypriot lifestyle usually makes up for low wages. Many holiday companies employ 'reps' (representatives) and marketing staff to assist their operations on the island - this work is usually more financially rewarding.</p> <p id="mwAT4">Teaching English as a Foreign Language (EFL) is another worthwhile option, well paid though often difficult to find.</p> <p id="mwAT8">Finally, Cyprus' ongoing construction boom in tourism infrastructure results in a demand for skilled builders and tradespeople.</p> </section><section data-mw-section-id="30" id="mwAUA"><div class="mw-heading mw-heading2" id="mwAkQ"><h2 id="Learn">Learn</h2><span class="mw-editsection" id="mwAkU"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" id="mwAkY">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Cyprus&action=edit&section=30" title="Edit section: Learn" id="mwAkc"><span id="mwAkg">edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" id="mwAkk">]</span></span></div> <p id="mwAUE">If you are considering an extended stay on the island, there are a number of educational courses that you can take.

Cyta-Vodafone is the largest operator and charges the highest rates locally, while other providers are generally cheaper. Be aware before purchasing that all of these providers charge a high per-MB rate to roam in Northern Cyprus; Cyta-Vodafone, Primetel, and Cablenet charge €0.20 per MB while Epic charges €0.25 per MB. If you want one SIM to use across the whole island, look elsewhere. To avoid surprise billing, all providers require you to manually activate roaming in Northern Cyprus to use it. </p> <p id="mwAXE"><b id="mwAXI">Cyta-Vodafone</b> sells physical "soeasy" SIM starter kits for €2 with €1 credit pre-loaded at their stores, or data-only eSIM QR codes are available on arrivals at Larnaca and Paphos airports.</p> <p id="mwAXM">The physical SIM comes pre-set to the "soeasy classic" rate, which charges €0.15 per MB. If you send a message with the words "soeasy plus" (no quotes) to 8000, your SIM will be set to the "soeasy plus" rate instead, which automatically purchases the following local, EU, and UK allowances for 30 days and returns €2 of credit to use for any services not included when topping up the designated amount:</p> <ul id="mwAXQ"><li id="mwAXU">400 minutes, 400 SMS, and 20GB for €10</li> <li id="mwAXY">1000 minutes, 1000 SMS, and 50GB for €20</li> <li id="mwAXc">2000 minutes, 2000 SMS, and 100GB for €35</li></ul> <p id="mwAXg">Each top-up of €10 or more also extends the validity of the SIM by 1 year from date of top-up. Calls and SMS can only be used locally and in EU or UK roaming, and not for international calls to the EU or UK while in Cyprus.</p> <p id="mwAXk">If you remain on the soeasy classic rate, or if the data in the Plus allowance is insufficient, you can purchase a 7-day unlimited data pack for €4.90 for local use only by making sure you have enough balance in your account, then sending the letters "MI UNL7" (no quotes) to 8000. </p> <p id="mwAXo">The eSIM can only be loaded with 20GB for €10, and reloading does not extend validity (30 days from initial activation). No calls or SMS are allowed. In addition, no roaming is allowed.</p> <p id="mwAXs"><b id="mwAXw">Epic</b> sells its SIM starter kits for €2 and includes 50MB of local data as well as €1 credit. Its prepaid SIMs have free bonuses for topping up, the option to purchase top-ups from your balance, as well as dedicated data top-ups that can be purchased. </p> <p id="mwAX0">For topping up, you get the credit you topped up as well as the following bonuses. The bonus is valid for local use for 30 days while the credit itself is valid for 365 days: </p> <ul id="mwAX4"><li id="mwAX8">€10: 40 minutes, 100 SMS, 30 MB</li> <li id="mwAYA">€20: 120 minutes, 250 SMS, 60 MB</li> <li id="mwAYE">€35: 240 minutes, 500 SMS, 90 MB</li> <li id="mwAYI">€50: 400 minutes, 750 SMS, 150 MB</li></ul> <p id="mwAYM">If no allowance is purchased, data is charged at a very expensive €1.02 per MB.
