How to Find a Pharmacy in Cyprus

There are pharmacies EVERYWHERE! But for some reason they seem to keep very strange hours with most closed during the afternoon, and closed before 7:30pm – and you can forget about getting your meds on a Saturday afternoon or at any point on a Sunday. Having said that, there is a system where there is an “after-hours” pharmacy in most neighbourhoods on a rotational basis.

General Pharmacy Hours in Cyprus:

  • Monday: 8am – 1:30pm, 4pm – 7:30pm
  • Tuesday: 8am – 1:30pm, 4pm – 7:30pm
  • Wednesday: 8am – 1:30pm
  • Thursday: 8am – 1:30pm, 4pm – 7:30pm
  • Friday: 8am – 1:30pm, 4pm – 7:30pm
  • Saturday: 8am – 1:30pm
  • Sunday: Closed

To find “night” pharmacies or “after-hours” pharmacy, I recommend checking the following:

  • PhileNews keeps a list here
  • If all else fails, the list is in Greek here and then use Chrome to translate to English
