Time difference Cyprus

Cyprus is +2 hours from the Greenwich meridian. It is therefore necessary to add one hour to the French time, both in summer and in winter.

Opening hours Cyprus

To see / To do Cyprus

The main sites are open from 8am to 8pm during the high season. All museums and archaeological sites are closed on Christmas Day, New Year's Day and Orthodox Easter. The main archaeological sites remain open to the public on other holidays.

Enjoying yourself Cyprus

Lunch (from the locals) often starts around 2pm or even after, and dinner rarely before 9pm or 10pm. But it is not uncommon for an establishment to also serve coffee and snacks from 9am onwards.

Take a break Cyprus

We start at 8am, if not before. In the South as in the North, coffee, Greek or Turkish, is part of the culture and is drunk all day long. And for as long as you want. In the evening, the establishments close late, often with the last customer, especially in summer.

(To) please yourself Cyprus

Stores adapt their opening hours to the climate so that they can withstand the heat. Some shops just take a two-hour break in the afternoon to reopen in the evening. But in very touristy areas, it is no problem to find a shop open at almost any time.

Get out Cyprus

In the South as well as in the North, Cypriots go out late, often on Friday and Saturday, and usually from 10 pm onwards. To sometimes return early in the morning.
