Savvas Perdios told the Cyprus News Agency the country would welcome visitors from the UK who have had two doses of a vaccine approved by the European Medicines Agency.
These include the Pfizer/BioNTech and Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccines currently being rolled out in the UK, as well as the Moderna vaccine that is due to start being rolled out in the spring.
So long as travellers have had their second vaccine dose at least seven days prior to travel, they will be able to visit Cyprus without the need for a negative test or to self-isolate on arrival.
