Foreign advice for Brits visiting Cyprus amid growing fears of conflict

By staff5 July 2025No Comments3 Mins Read

The Foreign Office has issued a new travel warning for Cyprus, and Brits are being urged to ‘be vigilant’ if they are planning on travelling to the island this summer

The Foreign Office has issued a stark warning for Brits planning to travel to Cyprus this summer, urging them to ‘be vigilant’ due to fears of escalating conflict in the region.

In its recent travel information, the Foreign Office warns of ‘ongoing hostilities’ between Israel and Iran, which could ‘escalate quickly’ and create risks across the region, including Cyprus. It comes in the wake of Israel’s attacks against Iran last month, which prompted retaliation from the latter.

Although not directly involved in these disputes, Cyprus is close to the heart of the conflict, with Ayia Napa lying just 145 miles from Israel. Moreover, the presence of UK Sovereign Base Areas on Cypriot soil adds another layer of concern for potential effects on the region should the situation between Iran and Israel escalate further.

Ongoing hostilities in the region

In its official guidelines for those travelling to Cyprus, the Foreign Office states: “Ongoing hostilities in the region and between Israel and Iran could escalate quickly and pose security risks for the wider region.”

While journeys to Cyprus are still allowed, Brits are advised to monitor local and international news outlets closely for any details.

Additionally, the office advises holidaymakers to “be vigilant and follow the instructions of local authorities”.

The Foreign Office’s safety and security page says: “There is a high threat of terrorist attack globally affecting UK interests and British nationals, including from groups and individuals who view the UK and British nationals as targets. Stay aware of your surroundings at all times.”

However, it also notes: “Although there’s no recent history of terrorism in Cyprus, attacks cannot be ruled out. Attacks could be indiscriminate, including in places visited by foreign nationals.”

Can I still travel to Cyprus this summer?

At present, there are no incidents in or near Cyprus that have disrupted flights, and travel firms continue to operate as usual. However, if you’re worried about any potential escalation in conflict impacting your flight, you should get in touch with your airline to find out their stance on possible cancellations.

If you’ve already booked accommodation, it’s recommended to check whether they’ve issued any guidance for guests during your stay.

Further details on Foreign Office guidance for Cyprus can be found online here.
