Division
Cash vs Carte
In the south (Republic of Cyprus), cards are accepted almost everywhere. The north of the island, under Turkish control, runs on the Turkish lira and largely on cash: bring cash there.
Distributeurs (ATM)
ATMs everywhere in the south (cities, airports, seaside resorts). Rarer in the north.
Frais typiques
Free with a eurozone card in the south. Check the fees of independent ATMs (Euronet) that display unfavourable rates.
Ou changer son argent
Not needed in the south if you have euros. To visit the north, it's better to pay in euros or withdraw Turkish lira on the spot.
Pourboires
Not mandatory. A 10% service charge is sometimes already added to the bill.
Prix typiques
Arnaques a eviter
- !Hostess bars in Ayia Napa and Limassol: inflated bills
- !Independent ATMs (Euronet) offering a 'conversion' at unfavourable rates: decline the conversion and pay in euros
Paiements digitaux
Apple Pay and Google Pay well accepted in the south. Contactless is the norm in cities.
