You will need an adapter for type G power outlets in CyprusIn Cyprus, type G power outlets are used, while in South Africa, you use plugs D, M and N. If you're traveling to Cyprus, you'll need a power adapter for types G, as your power plugs won't fit the sockets there.

Make sure to get a power adapter for outlets of type G. If you often go abroad, consider getting an all-in-one adapter (most adapters even have additional charging ports for USB-A and USB-C).
Cyprus' voltage level of 240 V is quite similar to the 230 V system used in South Africa. These slight differences are usually considered by manufacturers.

There is no need for a voltage converter in Cyprus, when traveling from South Africa.To confirm, check if your devices require a voltage converter by looking at the 'INPUT' label, typically found on the power adapter or charger. If the label shows "INPUT: 100-240V, 50/60 Hz," the device is built to handle different voltage and frequency ranges, meaning you’ll only need a plug adapter for the outlets in Cyprus. This is typical for devices such as notebooks, smartphones, digital cameras, and also for tablets, e-readers, and some battery chargers.
