Cyprus Uses the Euro—Including Ayia Napa

The currency in Ayia Napa, like the rest of the Republic of Cyprus, is the Euro (€). Cyprus adopted the euro on January 1, 2008, replacing the Cypriot pound. Ayia Napa, a popular resort town in the Famagusta District, operates entirely in euros. Note: Northern Cyprus (recognized only by Turkey) uses the Turkish lira, but Ayia Napa is in the government-controlled south.
