The UK Foreign Office has issued fresh guidance for anyone travelling to Cyprus.
Around one million Brits visit the Mediterranean island each year, with those in the North East able to fly direct to Paphos on its southwestern coast from Newcastle International Airport. However, the Foreign Office has reminded visitors that authorities in north Cyprus do not share information regarding British Nationals in distress.
Therefore, new information has been shared on the country's political situation, and additional information about child abduction in north Cyprus. The Republic of Cyprus is a full member of the EU, but the country remains divided, with the British government not recognising the self-declared "Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus," the Liverpool Echo reports.
