The country will end its Covid action plan on Wednesday (1 June).


It means travellers will no longer need to show proof of vaccination against – or recovery from – Covid-19 to enter Cyprus, or evidence of a recent negative test for Covid-19.


Transport minister Yiannis Karousos said the decision marked "a return to normality in terms of travel".


Karousos said air passenger traffic to Cyprus in May was expected to reach 77% of pre-pandemic levels, with around 30,0000 people arriving a day.

"Efforts are being made, of course, to further increase this percentage and the occupancy rate, and the results are quite positive," said Karousas.
