Looking forward to having a great holiday, never  been to Cyprus before so this will be a first for me.

Would be great to get any tips / recommendations on what currency to take or what to when I get there

Hi Andy, I am booked for the same trip.

I have never been to Cyprus either - looking forward to joining the excursions.

Had a quick look online: the Euro is the currency of (South) Cyprus, and the Turkish Lira is the currency in Northern Cyprus with Euro & GBP is widely accepted in tourist areas.

It would be helpful to hear from anyone who has done this trip before (or visited the region)!

Hi!  I did this holiday last June, probably the best I have done with JY.  Northern Cyprus is lovely and very cheap because of the Turkish lira, which has just fallen to a new record low.  Enjoy!

Hi Andy.

I've booked the Christmas trip & wondered how you got on with the currencies? Will I need T Lira or did they price & accept Euros in the North?

They will accept Euros but you are much better off using Turkish lira.  The currency has been in freefall for years now!  I couldn't believe my week's bar bill at the hotel ... in a good way!
