Surely you must be aware that the island is divided, with a border in between! Turkish in the north, and Greek Cypriot for the main part. So, it is Greek Cypriot Pounds for Akrotiri, on the Greek side.

as far as i can make out Akrotiri is in southern Cyprus and therefore should be Cypriot pounds .

Hiya, It's Cyprus pounds, at the moment to exchange your money in UK it's about Â£0.855 Cyp to the British Â£1.00. Over in Cyprus you may get a little bit more. Cyprus is only changing to Euros next year.Akrotiri is in the southern side of Cyprus so it is not in occupied Northern side. Enjoy yourself i love Cyprus i will be there in September.

Hi Akrotiri is in southern cyprus so you will need cypriot pounds you will only need turkish lira if you plan on visiting the north and even then they take cyprus pounds. Do not bring Turkish Money cypriots will not touch it

You are going to Republic of Cyprus.
The currency of the Republic is the Cyprus pound - CYÂ£, which is divided into 100 cents.Commercial banks quote daily the exchange rates of the Cyprus pound against all major foreign currencies.To avoid additional exchange rate charges, travelers are advised to take travelers cheques in Cyprus Pounds.

All credit cards accepted.

In Akrotiri is British Sovereign Base situated, most probably you are visiting somebody there.But again it is Cyprus pound - CYÂ£.

While I have never been to Cyprus I would, by experience imagine that any 'hard' currency will be accepted - so a few GB Pounds might help - but I think that I would make sure that I had a supply of Euros!

Don't forget that if you have a credit/debit card you can always get the local currency from a cash machine - otherwise take some Sterling travellers cheques and change them for the local currency.

If you change your cash into a 'soft' currency you will have a great deal of trouble and expense changing it back again into a 'hard' currency.

Cyprus pounds. The Akrotiri Base is within the free part of Cyprus.

If you are in the Greek Cypriot part of Cyprus you will use Cypriot pounds....
if you are on turkish grounds u will need turkish lira...but they do accept cypriot pounds....but u can always make money exchange in banks....

that depends on which side you are visiting! Here in Cyprus we have a lot of areas called akrotiri. Now if you are going to Paphos, Limassol, Larnaka, Nicosia you will need Cypriot pounds. But if you are going to Famagusta, Kerynia and the other half Nicosai you will need Turkish Lira.

CYP ............. you will get an excellent rate if you wish to change to Turkish Lira.
