are a few hints for car hire clients travelling in Cyprus: "GENERAL INFORMATION ON CYPRUS - for guidance only!
Crime
There have been a number of bombings and torching of cars, mainly in the Limassol and Nicosia areas over the past few years. Although the perpetrators have rarely been identified, these activities are restricted for the most part to infighting among the criminal fraternity.
Crimes against tourists are uncommon. You should, however, safeguard passports, money and other valuables by using hotel safety deposit boxes where available.
Political Situation
The Republic of Cyprus is a full member of the EU. But the country remains divided by the “Green Line” which separates the “Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus from the rest of the island. The “Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus” is not recognised by the British Government.
Local Travel
The partial lifting of restrictions on crossing the “Green Line” allows Cypriots to cross at designated crossing points from the north to the south. It is possible to travel to the north of Cyprus from the south by crossing at several checkpoints, including the Ledra Palace checkpoint in central Nicosia. You may take a hired car through the checkpoints, except at Ledra Palace, which is for pedestrians only. You are strongly advised, however, to check the insurance implications with your car hire company before doing so. It is possible to hire a car once you have crossed into the north. There are controls on the quantities and types of goods that can be purchased in the north and brought into the south. Goods may be confiscated at the checkpoint upon return to the south.
British and other foreign nationals who have entered Cyprus through the north are considered by the Government of the Republic of Cyprus to have entered Cyprus through an illegal port of entry. The Government of the Republic of Cyprus reserves the right to fine EU (including British) citizens for illegal entry if they cross into the south. In practice, their current policy is not to do so.
Road Safety
Cypriot driving regulations are similar to those of the UK and driving is on the left-hand side of the road. Driving standards are poor. You may be fined 500 pounds or more if you are caught not wearing a seat belt or crash helmet or if you are using a mobile telephone or under the influence of alcohol while driving. Most roads, including inter city highways, are of a good standard. Short term visitors and tourists are permitted to drive on UK driving licences.
When hiring a car, moped, boat, jet ski or other vehicle, you should check that it is road or sea worthy and that you have appropriate insurance cover and safety equipment.
Sea Safety
Bathing is generally safe. But you should be aware of strong seas and undertows. You should always comply with warning signs and swim only from approved beaches.
LOCAL LAWS AND CUSTOMS
Cyprus has a strictly enforced zero tolerance policy towards drugs. Being caught in possession of any type of narcotic will usually lead to a prison sentence or a hefty fine.
Do not attempt to make fraudulent claims on your insurance policy. The police investigate such claims and prosecute visitors for this offence. Prison sentences and heavy fines have been imposed.
You should avoid taking photographs near potentially sensitive areas such as military establishments in order to avoid any misunderstandings.
Homosexuality is legal in Cyprus, although it is not generally as openly accepted as it is in the UK.
ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
Cyprus is a full member of the European Union. Holders of full British passports do not, therefore, require visas.
HEALTH
You should take with you a completed E111 form, which should be completed before you leave the United Kingdom (see UK Department of Health leaflet “HEALTH ADVICE FOR TRAVELLERS” TEL: 0800 555 7777). This is available free of charge from most United Kingdom post offices. This will entitle you to free emergency medical treatment in Cyprus. Nevertheless, we strongly recommend that you obtain comprehensive travel/medical insurance before travelling.
For further information on health, check the Department of Health’s website at: www.dh.gov.uk
NATURAL DISASTERS
Cyprus occasionally experiences earth tremors, but these are almost invariably very mild.
GENERAL
Purchasing Property
Before purchasing property anywhere in Cyprus you are strongly advised to seek independent qualified legal advice.
Property issues are closely linked to the political situation (see Cyprus Country Profile for background). The non-recognition of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus and the possibility of a future political settlement in Cyprus could have significant practical or financial implications for those considering buying property in the north. There is also a risk that purchasers would face legal proceedings in the courts of the Republic of Cyprus. Separately, there are specific rules for foreigners purchasing property in the north and you should ensure you are fully aware of these.
Time share/property salespersons tout for business in Cyprus, especially in the Paphos area. You should read the fine print very carefully and seek legal advice before signing any kind of contract. Under Cyprus law you are entitled to a 15-day “cooling off” period during which, if you change your mind, you should receive a full refund of any money paid. |
