Is tap water in Cyprus drinkable?
The answer is yes, usually, but there are exceptions.
In the southern, Greek part of Cyprus, tap water is generally safe to drink. Its quality meets European standards and is regularly monitored. You can use it without worry for drinking, cooking, brushing your teeth, or making coffee.
In the northern, Turkish part of the island, bottled water is recommended. The quality of the water network can vary there, especially in more rural areas.
Tourists and expats sometimes opt for bottled water, simply out of convenience or habit. Those who want to be on the safe side can bring a reusable bottle with a filter.
