A number of key European hotspots have confirmed dates in recent weeks for an easing of the current travel measures as the summer season approaches.
The Covid-19 pandemic continues to wind down and vaccination is proving effective against the worst effects of the virus, and so many governments are beginning to ease their entry requirements.
One of the first travel rules being dropped in Cyprus is the need for a negative PCR test before boarding your departing flight.

When announcing the new regulations - coming into effect on April 18, 2022 - they confirmed that only those who remain unvaccinated and have not recovered from the coronavirus in the past six months must undergo a PCR test.
It will still have to be done at most 72 hours prior to boarding or a rapid antigen test can be done 24 hours before departure.
This will also include anyone whose last vaccine is outside of the agreed EU expiry dates before travel.
Among the other rules being eased is the need for a passenger locator form on arrival - the Cyprus Flight Pass.
Despite the easing of restrictions, the need for a European Digital Covid Cert is still mandatory and the expiry dates agreed by the European Union will still count.
Therefore, all adults will still only be considered 'fully vaccinated' for nine months after receiving their second dose in the primary series of vaccination.
If they have received a third booster shot, there will be no expiry date.
Dubai, Canada, Italy, Tunisia, and Jordan are also among the latest countries to relax testing requirements for vaccinated travellers.
The economy in some of these countries heavily relies on the influx of tourists, and so after two years of restrictions, many governments are working to make up the deficit this year.
