To see the larger postage stamp image and for more details, please click on the thumbnail or the More Information button in the category listings. Where a Cyprus postage stamp is of particular interest or relatively high catalogue value, we will often also add a scan of the back of the stamp. These can generally be found in the Pre-Republic category (1880 - 1960 covering Cyprus stamps issued during the reign of Queen Victoria, King Edward VII, King George V, King George VI and Queen Elizabeth II).
We are the only dedicated and constantly updated website for North Cyprus stamps and the Republic of Cyprus stamps & first day covers. Our overall aim is to provide a website and service for all your Cyprus stamp needs.
We do however, also list small collections of stamps from other countries from time to time and you will find these in our eBay Clearance Auction listings - just follow the Small_Island_Sails auction link at the left side of the page to see all our latest listings. As these are not all in our speciality you may be lucky and find the odd rare stamp or hidden gem!
We've tried to make it as easy as possible for you to get your Cyprus stamps with mail order on this website - but if you have any difficulties or problems, we welcome your comments and feedback. Our website is our very own Cyprus stamp online catalogue. Almost all of our available items are listed, with the exception of our very latest stock arrivals.
We are constantly updating our listings, so come back regularly to see our latest additions or add us to your list of Favourite websites.

Stamps in Cyprus are issued by the postal services department .
The postal history of Cyprus is very closely related to the island's political past. Postal services
existed during the Venetian and Ottoman periods of occupation and
the first printed postage stamps appeared after the start of the British occupation in 1878. It's said that Cyprus' postal history is probably the most interesting of all Commonwealth countries!
The first postage stamps issued were identical to stamps issued in Britain - but overprinted with CYPRUS. Later issues included local themes, with the current reigning British monarch depicted in the upper corners.
The postal services department have issued stamps in several series per year since 1960. The illegally occupied areas in the North of Cyprus issue their own stamps and are separate to the Republic of Cyprus (South Cyprus). More recently the total stamps produced per issue range between 50,000 - 80,000 for each stamp.
All mail dispatched out of Cyprus must carry the Refugee Fund stamp (current value €0,02cents) in order to be posted officially. The very first Refugee Fund stamp was issued in October 1974 (originally a 1971 commemorative issue overprinted 5m to 10m Refugee Fund). New issues have been released on a fairly regular basis and since 10th January 1977 all have been of the same design depicting a person squatting in front of a stretch of coiled barbed wire. Only the colour has changed in all this time, most recently to a greyish purple colour.
Please look out for our own unofficial or private first day covers - they are very unique and collectable. Since the postal services started to produce official covers, the private covers are very quickly becoming a thing of the past. So, if you are looking for individual cachets or a hand produced & personally designed fdc - look no further...
For the latest issues of all stamps, visit our pages regularly and keep a close eye on our "News" page from the top or bottom menus and also our "Latest Issues" information, located at the right hand side of all our web pages.
