At present, Cyprus does not require mandatory additional vaccinations, but basic Finnish vaccinations are sufficient for vaccination protection.
Tap water in Cyprus should be safe compared to many other countries, but it is still recommended to buy bottled water. In addition, suspicious food (e.g., meat that looks raw) should be left on a plate with popularity.
In case of possible diseases, it is worth exporting the most common medicines from Finland, for example for stomach disease, although in principle they are also available from Cyprus.
