Our location dataset for Cyprus

Cyprus ZIP Codes

Cyprus uses a “Postal code” system, which is a four-digit numeric format, like 9999, with no letters or separators. This means it uses only numbers, unlike US ZIP codes which are also numeric, but US ZIP codes are five digits long compared to Cyprus’s four. According to the GeoPostcodes world postal code database, Cyprus has 1,620 postal codes covering 607 regions and 734 towns.

Cyprus ZIP & Administrative boundaries

Cyprus administrative landscape often follows inconsistent regional models and irregular public sources, making it difficult to maintain reliable boundaries. Our standardized postal and administrative boundary data resolves these gaps to ensure complete, coherent geographic coverage.
