Can I use my devices in Cyprus?
The local supply in Cyprus is 240 V / 50 Hz. Most modern chargers for phones, laptops, cameras are dual voltage and work worldwide as long as the plug fits the socket.
- OKAY Phone, tablet, camera chargers and power banks usually support 100–240 V and can be used safely with the correct plug or adapter.
- CAUTION Laptops, game consoles and monitors often work worldwide, but always check the voltage range (100–240 V) on the power brick before plugging in.
- AVOID Single-voltage devices with heating elements (hair dryers, straighteners, kettles) can be problematic if their rated voltage does not match the local supply of 240 V.
Cyprus is the easternmost island in the Mediterranean, with a long summer season, ancient ruins, mountain villages and a warm culture that reflects its mix of Greek, Turkish and British influences.
There, the main plug type G are used and the standard supply is 240 V at 50 Hz. You will need a travel adapter because the local plug types differ from those used in your home country. Most modern devices support 100–240 V.
Tip Cyprus uses type G three-pin sockets, the same as the UK and Malta. Travelers from continental Europe will need a dedicated adapter. Individual switches next to sockets are common, so check the switch is on if your device is not charging.
