HEALTH AND SAFETY INFORMATION


health-safety

Health Care System

Each country's health system is different and might not include all the things you would expect to get free of charge from your native country. This means you MAY have to make a patient contribution to the cost of your care. Your European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) will enable you to access public healthcare provided in Cyprus at a reduced cost, or sometimes for free. If you find yourself in a serious or life-threatening emergency or you need an ambulance, the police or the fire brigade, dial 112. Holiday makers can also use their health insurance towards their medical expenses, provided the policy covers the length of their stay on the island. More detailed information can be obtained from the Cyprus Ministry of Health – www.moh.gov.cy

Vaccinations

Cyprus has no dangerous infectious diseases. Visitors do not require any vaccinations to travel to Cyprus.

Safety in Cyprus

In general, Cyprus is a very safe place to live. As a traveller, there are few risks of personal loss or harm in Cyprus. However, for peace of mind, please lock hotel rooms and keep all your personal belongings secure by using a safety deposit box (most accommodations provide this). The greatest risk generally comes from other travellers in the main resorts as there is a high concentration of tourists. Petty theft and drunkenness are the most likely crimes to be committed.

Driving in cyprus

You must be 18 years of age to legally drive. To rent a car, drivers must be in possession of a driving licence for at least three years or be aged over 25. In Cyprus they drive on the left (as in the UK, unlike the rest of western Europe). Seat-belts are compulsory and using a mobile phone whilst driving is prohibited. Road signs are in English and Greek. Distances are marked in kilometres and be aware road speeds are marked in kilometres per hour (Km/h). The maximum speed limit on motorways is 100 km/h and the minimum is 65 km/h. Four-lane motorways connect the capital, Lefkosia (Nicosia) with the coastal cities of Lemesos (Limassol), Larnaka (Larnaca) and Pafos (Paphos).

Pharmacy and Medications

There are numerous Pharmacies in Cyprus. Medicine can be purchased at pharmacies on presentation of a doctor's prescription and almost all brands of medicine are available in Cyprus. Pharmacies are all marked with a green cross. The standard opening hours are much the same as general shops, usually around 9am to 6pm, and most will close for lunch. Duty pharmacies will stay open late each night until 10pm in the winter months and 11pm in the summer months and all day Sunday. Details of the appointed pharmacies can be found in the local Greek or English newspapers.
