L.P.G. GAS

L.P.G. Gas in Cyprus is available in 10 kgm portable cylinders, which can be bought from Petrol Stations, grocery shops and supermarkets. Mini gas cylinders of 250 grams are also on sale. L.P.G. gas is widely used for cooking and heating as it is considerably cheaper than electricity. Gas cylinders can be used at camping sites.
One 10 kgm L.P.G. gas cylinder costs: CY3,85 (CY2,00 for deposit, plus CY1,85 for the gas).
- There are no special stations for refilling gas cylinders.
- The use of L.P.G. gas in motor vehicles is strictly forbidden.
