Anyone flying to Cyprus is being urged to be aware that the UK Foreign Office (FCDO) has updated its travel guidance for the country.
The government department has reminded UK tourists that authorities in northern Cyprus will not share information regarding British nationals in distress. That means that if you travel to the region and get into trouble, they won't notify UK officials if you require assistance and you will be "more vulnerable".
As a result, new information has been shared on the island's political situation, as well as facts about child abduction in north Cyprus, the Liverpool Echo reports. Around one million British nationals visit Cyprus every year and most trips are trouble-free, but it's important to know all you can should an incident occur.
