What to Bring to North Cyprus (And What to Buy Here)?

Moving to a new country is exciting, but packing your suitcase can be a headache. Should you bring your winter coat? Do you need a towel? Here is the ultimate checklist for students.

? What to BRING from Home

• Electronics & Adapters: Cyprus uses the British 3-pin plug (Type G). If you are coming from Turkey or Europe, bring 2-3 travel adapters for your laptop and phone.


• Favorite Spices/Snacks: You can find most things here, but specific spices from your home country might be hard to find.


• Medication: Bring a 3-month supply of any prescription medicine you take, just to be safe.


• A Good Jacket: Yes, it gets cold! In January and February, temperatures drop, and houses often don't have central heating.

? What to BUY in Cyprus

• Bedding & Towels: Don't waste suitcase space on these. You can buy cheap pillows and sheets at "Mr. Pound" or local home stores like "Önder".


• Shampoo & Toiletries: Brands like Pantene, Dove, and Nivea are available in every supermarket.


• Kitchenware: If you rent a furnished flat, it might have plates. If not, buy a cheap starter set here.
