Health Care
Since, Cyprus is a EU member, if any of the European travellers or their dependants is suddenly taken ill or has an accident while visiting Cyprus, they just need to produce a valid European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) to avail free or reduced-cost treatment.
EHIC card is, however, not valid in northern region of Cyprus under Turkish control.
The authorities in Cyprus strongly advise full travel insurance for all travellers to the country.
