In Northern Cyprus, Be More Cautious

In addition, the Cypriot authorities cannot guarantee the standards of tourist service in the occupied areas, where the European Union consumer protection legislation does not apply. In accordance with the laws of the Republic of Cyprus, all tour operators are required to have as their representative a Cypriot travel agent holding the appropriate license. The service in the northern territories indeed leaves much to be desired, and there are no security guarantees either, but the southern part finds it very difficult to compete with the northern part in the beauty of landscapes and historical monuments.
