DailyMail: Britons Cancel Cyprus Holidays Amidst War Fears

British tourists are cancelling their holidays to Cyprus due to growing fears over the war in Iran, despite assurances that the island remains a safe destination. Cyprus is a popular destination for Britons, welcoming approximately one million visitors annually. The island's geographical location, close to the Middle East, and the recent incident with a drone striking the British base in Akrotiri, have caused concern among tourists. Numerous flights have been cancelled, and locals are worried about the potential impact on the tourist season, particularly with Easter approaching.
