LONDON CLARIFIES CYPRUS IS NOT ON THE LIST OF DANGEROUS DESTINATIONS - Filenews 1/4 by Stelios Marathovouniotis
London does not discourage travel to Cyprus, the British High Commissioner for Refugees has confirmed, following British media reports suggesting that the British government is warning against travel to destinations such as Cyprus and Greece.
In a statement UNHCR said the Foreign Office updated its travel advisories for all countries in the region, including Cyprus, following the start of military strikes on Iran by the US and Israel. Cyprus did not rise to a higher alert level and remains at the lowest level of the Foreign Office.
"We advise British nationals to check travel instructions before traveling, but we do not recommend that they avoid traveling to Cyprus," the statement said. "The safety of British nationals in every country and territory is our primary concern when determining our travel guidelines. Our travel advice is constantly being reviewed to ensure they reflect our most recent assessment of the risks faced by British nationals."
