In principle Cyprus is wired to UK standards, particularly in using BS1363 sockets.
I thought that this arrangement in our hotel room was a very good illustration of what really happens.
The left hand plug was the fridge, the centre position the TV, and the right hand one, with the adaptor, supplies a brand new kettle. The adaptor was a good one, fused and providing earth continuity. A similar adaptor was supplied with the hair dryer. There were many more examples of the centre arrangement to be seen around the hotel. Clearly the appliance suppliers are more aligned to European standards than UK ones.
