If you speak to your British GP nicely he can prescribe up to 3 months prescription medication in advance. Do make yourself aware of regulations about importing prescription medication and other 'drugs' in to Cyprus, particularly painkillers.... just in case you are asked to open your suitcase by customs.

Also, do be aware that there are regulations on the amount of currency and travellers cheques you can bring into Cyprus. I fell foul of this one because I bought in a
large amount of travellers cheques for a stage payment and didn't declare them at my port of entry. The bank got VERY suspicious and rang my bank in England to confirm I had obtained the money legally!
