Cyprus is possibly one of Europe’s best-kept secrets. While many people will travel to Greece, Italy, and all the islands in between when it comes to a Mediterranean breakaway, the humble island of Cyprus remains a fantastic voyage destination for anyone looking for culture, sunshine, and an immense variety of things to do.

For example, while you may well know that Cyprus is famous for its sandy beaches and incredible diving experiences, did you know that its peaks are so high, you can actually go skiing here? You could ski in Troodos in the morning, and go sunbathing in Larnaca in the afternoon. Top it all off with a historic trek around the capital of Nicosia, and you’ve got a fantastic day in the bag.

But, as always, it’s well worth planning ahead for simple things like mobile data before you travel. While Cyprus will have WiFi spots, it’s easier, safer, and cheaper all around to load up an eSIM and grab all the data you need while you’re away.

What is a Cyprus eSIM?

A Cyprus eSIM is an embedded, completely digital SIM card that installs to your phone, tablet, or otherwise compatible device. It connects automatically to the best possible mobile connection in Cyprus, meaning you won’t have to worry about hunting down a hotspot or even having to use your existing network SIM. 

eSIMs work much like pay-as-you go services. When you buy an eSIM for Cyprus through SIMOVO, you get to choose how much data you’d like to cover your trip, and how long for. Then, you simply pay for your eSIM, scan a QR code, and your device will automatically connect to the best possible mobile coverage as soon as you land on the island.

For many travellers the world over, eSIMs have transformed the way they keep in touch with loved ones. You may be travelling thousands of miles from home – surely it makes sense to let people know how you’re getting on!

Why Getting an eSIM for Cyprus is a Must-Do

With a Cyprus eSIM, you never have to worry about fumbling around for a local SIM card or signing up for bolt-ons that run out within a few days. You also won’t have to fear the approaching mobile bills that will shock you when you get back home!

For all mobile networks and carriers may be kinder nowadays to travellers, there’s still a chance you’ll be paying premium costs just to use the internet while you visit Cyprus. It’s hardly fair – and, when you pay for your data upfront with SIMOVO, you’re always in control of what you spend and the data you have left.

Think, too, about what you’re likely to do with your devices when you’re away. You’ll probably take tons of photos and may even want to stream your trip away. To share your adventures from afar (and not with an awkward slideshow when you get back), you’ll need a steady, fast internet connection. 

SIMOVO covers you for mobile data while you’re in Cyprus, meaning you can call, text and IM through apps such as iMessage, FaceTime, WhatsApp, Snapchat, Messenger… the list goes on. And, if you want to catch up on Netflix or Disney+ while you sun yourself in Larnaca, you can do so safe in the knowledge your data’s completely covered.

Keep in mind, too, that while local WiFi hotspots might be convenient, they’re not always safe. SIMOVO eSIMs are developed to offer secure connectivity, meaning you can rest assured no hackers are snooping in on what you do.

Once you’ve booked your flights and accommodation, head over to our eSIM store and pay for an eSIM for Cyprus that you can tether and share with the whole family. That’s complete data freedom for you to enjoy whether you’re on the beach or on the piste.
