eSIM Cyprus: prepaid data on MTN Cyprus, from Larnaca to Paphos
A Cyprus holiday is beaches at Ayia Napa, the harbor at Paphos, the old town of Nicosia and a rental car winding up into the Troodos mountains, and every day of it involves navigation, restaurant lookups and photos. Landing at Larnaca or Paphos with a working connection means no roaming bill and no search for a SIM shop. A Cyprus eSIM from GlobaleSIM is ordered online, installed over Wi-Fi before you fly, and connects automatically when you arrive, while your own number stays live on your primary SIM for calls and WhatsApp.
Cyprus eSIM plans, prices and validity
The prepaid data plan starts from $4 for 1GB and comes in 2GB, 3GB, 5GB, 10GB, 15GB and 20GB. Validity grows with size: 1GB for 7 days, 2GB for 10 days, 3GB for 14 days, 5GB for 21 days, and 10GB, 15GB and 20GB for 30 days. A week on the beach with maps, messaging and social media fits in 2GB to 3GB; two weeks touring the island with photo backups and video calls is comfortable on 5GB to 10GB; a month of remote work by the sea, with a laptop on the hotspot, suits 15GB or 20GB. Validity starts at the first connection in Cyprus, so early installation costs nothing.
Networks and coverage in Cyprus
The eSIM Cyprus plan connects to MTN Cyprus, our partner network on the island. Larnaca, Limassol, Nicosia, Paphos and the resort strip around Ayia Napa and Protaras are well covered, and the motorways that link them are served all the way. Heading into the Troodos mountains or along quieter stretches of the Akamas peninsula, the signal can weaken on winding roads and hiking trails, so download offline maps before setting out for a day of driving or walking.

Tips for mobile data in Cyprus
Driving is on the left and most visitors rent a car, so live navigation is worth having from the moment you leave the airport. Ride-hailing and taxi apps operate in the main towns, while buses between cities are affordable and easier to plan with timetables on the phone. Contactless card and phone payments are accepted in most restaurants and shops, though village tavernas may prefer cash. Hotel and beach-bar Wi-Fi is common but shared and slow in the evenings, so keep the eSIM Cyprus as your main line. The plan works only inside Cyprus, so it is the right pick for a single-island trip.
Calls and a phone number in Cyprus
The base plan is data-only. Add +100, +200 or +300 voice minutes and your eSIM includes a dedicated international phone number, US +1 or UK +44, for calls and SMS. That number is useful for confirming a boat trip in Paphos, calling a car-rental office at Larnaca, or receiving bank verification texts while you pay abroad. Data-only travelers keep WhatsApp, iMessage and FaceTime on their own number.
