we never owned Cyprus but it was a British protectorat for many years and is still a comonweath country
                
                
                
                                    
            
            
        
                
                I agree Brian - "owned" is not the right word.
Britain was a Protectorate of Cyprus until 1914 and proclaimed it a Crown Colony in 1925.

this question comes up at least twice a year the answer hasnt changed.. MOST but NOT ALL accomodation on the southern part of Cyprus uses english 3 pin BUT there are quite a few places i have been to ( mainly away from the Pafos area which have euro 2pin and earth so we always carry an addaptor it cost little weighs nothing so i wont take the chance without it

                Yes Masureenc,
You will find adapters in nearly all the supermarkets over there,
