Cyprus Travel - Ferries to Cyprus

Since 2001, there are no longer any passenger ferries to Cyprus but you can still send vehicles unaccompanied. There are of course many cruises from Cyprus to Greece, the Greek Islands, Egypt, Lebanon and Syria.

Cyprus Travel - Entering Cyprus

If your visit to Cyprus is less than 3 months a valid passport is required and EU nationals can also enter Cyprus with a valid ID Card. Visas are NOT required for passport holders from the EU, USA, Australia and Canada.

Greek Language

Cyprus was for many years a British Colony, consequently many Cypriots speak English as well as Greek which does help with your travel in Cyprus. However, if you travel to the lovely inland villages not many people speak English so it's a good idea to learn a few words of Greek before you arrive or take a Greek phrase book with you.

If you like the heat then you'll love the Cyprus climate which has long hot summers. However, if you prefer it a little cooler then the best time to visit Cyprus is during the months of May and September. The summer months are very hot with temperatures soaring to 40 C in July and August.
