Tap water
Tap water meets EU standards and is generally safe; many prefer bottled for taste in some coastal and rural areas.
Tipping
Round up or 5–10%
~5–10% in restaurants if service isn't already included; round up taxis.
Driving
Drive on the LEFT (ex-British) — unusual for a Mediterranean beach destination. Roads are good; the motorways link Larnaca, Limassol, Nicosia and Paphos. Note only the Republic's side has EU-standard roads. Roundabouts go clockwise, give way to the right. Most hire cars are automatic.
