Internet & Phone
South Cyprus: EU roaming applies — you use your German data package without extra charge. Wi-Fi is standard in hotels, restaurants, and cafes.
North Cyprus: EU roaming does NOT apply! Your German mobile network switches to a Turkish or North Cypriot network at the Green Line — and high roaming charges apply (up to 5€/MB with some providers!). Immediately disable data roaming or buy a local SIM card (Turkcell/Telsim, from 5€ with 5 GB).
Achtung
In the north, EU roaming does NOT apply! Turn off data roaming before crossing the Green Line, otherwise, it can get expensive. Use Wi-Fi in cafes and hotels or buy a local prepaid SIM.
