What currency in Cyprus can you pay tourists for purchases?
Responds information department of "Subtlety of Tourism"
In 2004, Cyprus became a member of the European Union, therefore the official state currency of the country is EUR. In addition to EUR in Cyprus, you can pay by the Cyprus pound or the US dollar. However, it should be remembered that in Cyprus, the most readily accepted are EUR, and the places where US dollars are accepted are the hardest to find.
We advise you to take care of the currency exchange in advance, as the exchange rate of EUR (and other currencies) in Cyprus is not favorable in comparison with Russia. Among other things, we remind you that in Cyprus almost everywhere accepting bank cards for payment.
