As of 2010 (my last visit to this wonderful island) it was really easy to get a SIM-card. Every corner shop has starter-packs, which do not need any further activation.

If you plan to visit Cyprus more often, I guess it´s better to choose Cytavoda/Vodafone, as the card remains valid for 1 year w/o recharging, whereas their only competitor (Areeba or similar?) expires after 30 days.

As far as the Southern-Cypriot's version (which the EU adapted) is concerned, the Northern part is "occupied" - however I advise you to study some history books to see what led to those unfortnate events to get a complete picture
