Cannabis laws in Cyprus

Medicinal marijuana is legal in Cyprus to a limited degree, but when it comes to recreational use any activity involving cannabis is illegal. Theoretically, for possession of cannabis, you could go to prison for a maximum of 8 years, or 2 years if it is your first offense and you are under 25. The reality is a bit less harsh. If caught you will most likely spend a few days in jail, before you visit a court. You will then get a fine, that could be quite hefty depending on the circumstances.

Overall cannabis is very strictly regulated in Cyprus and if you do manage to score some weed in Ayia Napa, you need to be very careful and discrete. Do not smoke in public places, as the locals have a generally negative outlook on weed and might call the cops on you.
