Safety and Security

SAFETY AND SECURITY: While civil disorder is uncommon in Cyprus, demonstrations sometimes occur, and there have been occasional violent incidents along the "green line" dividing the two sides of the island. In previous years, terrorist groups from the Middle East have used Cyprus as a base for carrying out acts of terrorism against third country targets.

Taking photographs of anything that could be perceived as being of military or security interest (especially in north Cyprus) may cause problems with authorities.

Do not, under any circumstances, attempt to cross the U.N. buffer zone without permission. This area is heavily mined and militarized.

For the latest security information, Americans traveling abroad should regularly monitor the Department’s Internet web site at www.travel.state.gov where the current Worldwide Caution Public Announcement, Travel Warnings, and Public Announcements can be found.

The Overseas Citizens Services call center at 1-888-407-4747 can answer general inquiries on safety and security overseas. This number is available from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time, Monday through Friday (except U.S. federal holidays). Callers who are unable to use toll-free numbers, such as those calling from overseas, may obtain information and assistance during these hours by calling 1-317-472-2328.
