How to write a Cypriot address

Steeped in Greek mythology, Cyprus is the home of the legend of Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty who was born from sea foam. I imagine she has many pen pal requests, but she'll only get your letter if you use the correct address format. We'll help you figure out how to address a letter to Cyprus. Below you'll find Cypriot address examples to help you on your journey so you can start writing to the shores of Petra tou Romiou.

Smarty's suite of address validation tools for addresses in Cyprus is the gold standard for location data. Simply enter a Cypriot address, and we'll format, standardize, and validate it. Address formatting in Cyprus can be written out as follows:

  1. Addressee line - The recipient's full name, using appropriate titles for the region
  2. Building number and street - List one after the other without any separating punctuation.
  3. Postal code and city - The postal code comes first, followed by the city or town name
  4. Country - This is often shortened to CYP
