Time in Cyprus

Overview

The time in Cyprus is given by Eastern European Time (EET) (UTC+02:00) and Eastern European Summer Time (EEST) (UTC+03:00) during the summer.

Standard Time and Daylight Saving Time

Cyprus follows Eastern European Time (UTC+2) as standard time. During the summer, it observes Eastern European Summer Time (UTC+3).

Northern Cyprus

In 2016, the northern part of Cyprus, which is occupied by the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, had a different time to the Republic of Cyprus during the winter. This was because Turkey started observing UTC+3 all year around in summer 2016. However, from October 2017, the northern part of Cyprus has the same time as the rest of Cyprus, with daylight saving time observed during the summer but not in the winter.
