Tours to Cyprus from Uralsk: prices

Swimming is most comfortable in June and September, when the sea is warm and there is no heat. The resorts of Ayia Napa, Limassol, Paphos, Protaras and Larnaca are suitable for both beaches and sightseeing. The trip is usually booked one or two months in advance.

How to arrange a trip: documents and booking?

Tours to the island from Uralsk are more convenient to book in advance, especially for the May holidays and the velvet season. A peaceful holiday in Cyprus begins with a properly assembled package of papers.

Visa and passport for citizens of Kazakhstan

A trip to Cyprus for citizens of Kazakhstan is arranged through a simplified procedure via accredited travel agencies. The passport must be valid for at least three months after the end of the trip. Round-trip air tickets and hotel booking confirmation are part of the standard document package for the trip. The Cypriot side usually requests an entry permit validity period matching the tour dates. A holiday in Cyprus for tourists from Uralsk most often lasts from seven to ten nights. The assembled package is submitted through the agency; submitting the papers independently is not required.

Prepayment, refund and date changes

Whether prepayment is needed and in what amount when booking a tour through a company. Whether a refund or date change is possible upon cancellation of the tour and under what conditions. Such trips are usually booked one or two months before departure. The closer the date, the fewer seats remain on flights and in Ayia Napa hotels. Cancellation conditions depend on the airline fare and the policy of the specific hotel. Before payment, it is worth checking with the manager which dates are considered peak and are the hardest to change.

When is the best time to go and how much does it cost?

A holiday in Cyprus is attractive almost all year round, but the experience strongly depends on the month. Below — about the water, the heat and how to plan the day.

Swimming season and comfortable water temperature

The swimming season on the island lasts from May to October. Water comfortable for most tourists persists in November too, when the sea cools more slowly than the air. In May the water warms to acceptable values, but the evenings are still cool. The peak falls in June and September: warm and without exhausting heat. The water in Limassol and Larnaca warms faster than in Paphos. For a holiday in Cyprus with children, it is better to choose late May or early October — the beaches in Protaras are calmer at this time. Swimming in November is possible, but the wind is already noticeable.

Heat on the coast and planning excursions

In July and August there is strong heat on the coast, the temperature reaches +38 °C. Excursions during this period are best planned for the morning or evening, and during the day stay by the water. Ayia Napa and Protaras endure the heat more easily thanks to the breeze. In Nicosia, away from the sea, it is even harder during the day than at the resorts. A holiday in Cyprus at the height of summer requires a supply of water and a hat. Trips to mountain monasteries in the heat are tiring; it is more reasonable to postpone them to September.

What to consider on site: money, communications and transport

After arrival, a tourist from Uralsk encounters the euro, left-hand traffic and local payment rules. These details are better thought through in advance.

Euros, cards and cash in taverns

The currency in Cyprus is the euro. Visa and Mastercard cards are accepted almost everywhere: in hotels, supermarkets, restaurants in Limassol and Paphos. Cash will come in handy at markets and in taverns away from the resorts. A small amount in euros helps in the villages in the Troodos mountains. ATMs in Ayia Napa and Larnaca are common, the commission depends on the bank. A holiday in Cyprus is more convenient with two cards of different payment systems. Some small establishments prefer cash, especially in Protaras out of season.

Left-hand traffic and car rental

Traffic on the island is left-hand, and one needs to get used to it in the first hours. Car rental is available with an international driving licence and at least one year of driving experience. Kazakhstan driving licences are valid for short-term rental, but some rental companies require an IDP. Trips to Cyprus from Uralsk often include a transfer, and then a car is not needed. Your own car is convenient for trips between Larnaca, Limassol and Paphos. In Nicosia, parking in the centre is paid and finding a spot is difficult. Caution at roundabout intersections is mandatory.

How to prepare for a holiday on the island

Packing for Cyprus means insurance, clothing for churches and a couple of little things that people forget. Check the list before departure.

Insurance and paid medicine

Medical insurance is not mandatory for entry, but is strongly recommended. Medicine on the island is paid and expensive, and calling a doctor to the hotel costs a substantial sum. A policy with hospitalisation coverage should be arranged before departure. A holiday in Cyprus with children without insurance is an unnecessary risk. Pharmacies in Ayia Napa, Larnaca and Paphos exist, but some medicines are dispensed by prescription. Chronic medications are best brought with a supply and in the original packaging.

Clothing for churches and a plug adapter

Entry to Orthodox churches and monasteries requires closed clothing: shoulders and knees must be covered. Sockets in Cyprus are of the British standard (type G), an adapter is needed. The voltage is 230 V, frequency 50 Hz, equipment from Kazakhstan works without a converter. A light shawl helps in monasteries and in the heat. A holiday in Cyprus in May and October also requires a light jacket for the evening. It is better to buy an adapter in advance; hotels do not always provide one.

Local peculiarities worth knowing in advance

Small everyday habits on the island differ from those in Kazakhstan. Let us look at language, tips and beach little things.

Language of communication in tourist areas

The main language on the island is Greek. In the tourist areas of Ayia Napa, Limassol, Paphos, Protaras and Larnaca, English is widely spoken. In hotels and restaurants in the resorts, staff speak English fluently. In Nicosia outside the center, English is less common. Russian is understood in many shops in Ayia Napa and Limassol. A few Greek words such as a greeting dispose locals favorably toward a tourist. A holiday in Cyprus is quite possible without knowledge of Greek.

Tipping, tap water and sun loungers

Tips in restaurants and cafes are usually 5–10% of the bill if service is not included in the check. Drinking tap water is not recommended — buy bottled water. For renting sun loungers and umbrellas on the beaches of most hotels, a separate fee is charged if you are not a guest of that hotel. On the public beaches of Ayia Napa and Protaras, sunbeds are also paid. In the northern part of the island, after the dividing line, different rules and currency apply — the Turkish lira. For a standard beach holidays, this area is not needed.

In short

• The passport must be valid for another three months after return.
• Swimming is comfortable from May to October; in November the water is still warm.
• In July and August, sightseeing tours are scheduled for the morning or evening.
