Cyprus Postal Services

Cyprus Postal Services (Cyprus Post), formally the Department of Postal Services, operates under the Ministry of Transport, Communications and Works and functions under the postal legislation of Cyprus, including the Regulation of Electronic Communications and Postal Services Law of 2004 (N.112(I)/2004). Under Article 161(7) of that law, it remains the universal postal service provider in the Republic of Cyprus until 31 December 2027, obliged to provide universal postal services of specified quality at uniform and affordable prices throughout the territory. Its website presents services including QuickPost Premium Courier, Parcel24 pickup points, private mailboxes, eShop, and Proactive Track & Trace.

Cyprus Post's own history page states that the postal history of a place is closely connected with its wider history, and that Cyprus's postal history is as long and notable as the island's history. It notes that Cyprus's position as a crossroads in the Eastern Mediterranean and a transit and supply station for ships imposed, from the end of the twelfth century, the operation of postal services to meet basic needs in the movement of persons and goods, particularly after the occupation of Cyprus by the Lusignans and subsequently by the Venetians. The page organizes this history into periods: Lusignan/Venetian (1192–1571), Ottoman rule (1571–1878), British rule (1878–1960), the Republic of Cyprus (1960 until accession to the European Union in 2004), and the Republic of Cyprus in the European Union (2004–today).
