Cyprus is one of the southernmost EU members, sitting at about 35 degrees north in the eastern Mediterranean. The island gets long summers with abundant light, and the long evenings of summer are commercially and socially important. The fixed summer offset of UTC+3 means evenings in Stróvolos run late into the light.
the divided capital’s two clocks
The division of Cyprus between the Republic of Cyprus in the south and the Turkish-administered north, separated by the UN Buffer Zone through Nicosia, creates a timezone anomaly. The northern section uses Turkey Time (UTC+3 in winter, UTC+3 in summer, no DST), while the south uses Eastern European Time with DST. This means that depending on the season, the two sides of Nicosia are either on the same clock or one hour apart. The Green Line separates two different times.
Stróvolos is entirely within the Republic of Cyprus’s territory, south of the buffer zone.
9am in Stróvolos is 7am in London in winter, 6am during British Summer Time.
