Cyprus is considered one of the safest travel destinations in the Mediterranean region. Despite geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, the situation on the island remains stable and calm.

Tourism operates without restrictions, and there are no limitations for travellers.

We've heard from many people that they've rarely felt as safe and comfortable as they do here in Cyprus. However, in Ayia Napa, on the party strip, you have to be a bit more careful, as is the case in any party destination.

The best chances are from July to around October. Unfortunately, sightings have decreased significantly due to illegal feeding by tourist boats, as many turtles fall victim to the boat engines. :-(

The best time for diving in Cyprus is from April to November.

In summer, you can expect warm water temperatures and excellent visibility, while spring and autumn are a bit quieter and more relaxed.

Water temperatures range from around 17°C in winter to up to 28°C in summer, depending on the season.

Especially in late summer, the sea is pleasantly warm – ideal for long and relaxed dives.

No, the Mediterranean around Cyprus is very safe. There are no sharks or dangerous large marine animals that pose a risk to divers.

Occasionally, you may see smaller marine life such as lionfish – but these are easy to avoid.

For EU citizens, no visa is required. You can enter Cyprus with a valid passport or national ID card.

For guests from other countries, the entry requirements are usually also straightforward.

The official language is Greek, but English is spoken almost everywhere – especially in the tourism sector.

Many providers in the diving industry also offer German-speaking support..
