A high level of security in everything is a hallmark of modern Cyprus. You can fully enjoy the beauty of this wonderful island throughout your vacation or vacation. But all the same, you should know a number of measures and precautions, and most importantly the rules of behavior in order to avoid minor troubles.
First of all, it is recommended not to carry valuable things with you, even original documents, in order to avoid their loss or damage. You can always use a photocopy of your passport or visa or a photograph of them taken on your mobile phone. The originals are best kept in a safe. It is also worth remembering that currency exchange is best done in banks, and not with individuals. This will save you from counterfeit banknotes and from an unfavorable exchange rate.
Cyprus is a wonderful holiday destination any time of the year. There are many attractions that nature has created, as well as cultural monuments created by man. Therefore, photographs from Cyprus are your memory of a wonderful pastime. But remember that not everything can be photographed. For example, you shouldn't take pictures of military objects, policemen and military personnel. In addition, in museums, as a rule, it is necessary to have a permit for photography and video filming.
When communicating with Cypriots, it is advisable to avoid an uncomfortable topic for them - the occupation of the northern part of Cyprus.
Those who want to travel around the country while driving a car need to be especially careful. A high level of safety on the roads of Cyprus is ensured both due to the quality of the roads themselves, and due to serious control over driving rules, and due to serious fines for their violation. Drunk driving is not welcome in any of the civilized countries of the world; in Cyprus, such an offense will immediately entail a trial and a large fine. Speeding is also seriously punished, and the higher the speeding, the greater the fine. All passengers in cars, even those in the rear, must wear seat belts. The penalty for failure to comply with this requirement is EUR 85. Strict rules are imposed on motorists regarding incorrect parking.
As you can see, all existing restrictions and rules are aimed at making your vacation in Cyprus as comfortable and safe as possible, not only for you, but also for those around you. Therefore, when arriving on the island, enjoy your vacation, observing the basic rules of conduct for civilized people.
