Travel adapters for Cyprus

Most modern phones, laptops, cameras, and tablets are rated for 100–240 V, so you only need a simple plug-shape adapter when the voltage matches what your charger supports. Because Cyprus runs at the higher 230 V range, travelers from the United States, Canada, or Japan must check the label on each device. Anything marked “120 V only” will be destroyed if plugged in without a step-down voltage converter. For a Type G socket, a universal travel adapter or a region-specific adapter is enough for chargers that handle dual voltage.

Frequently asked questions

What plug does Cyprus use?

Cyprus uses Type G plugs and runs at 230 volts, 50 Hz.

Do I need a travel adapter for Cyprus?

Yes, if your home country does not use Type G. Most modern phone and laptop chargers handle 100–240 V, so a simple plug-shape adapter is enough.

What voltage is used in Cyprus?

Mains voltage in Cyprus is 230 V at 50 Hz.

Can I use my phone or laptop charger in Cyprus?

Almost always yes. Modern phone, laptop, tablet and camera chargers are dual-voltage (rated 100–240 V), so they handle Cyprus's 230 V automatically. You only need a plug-shape adapter, not a voltage converter. Check the small print on the charger to confirm.
