The island of Cyprus has one time zone. Eastern European Time (EET) (UTC+02:00) is used during winter, while Eastern European Summer Time (EEST) (UTC+03:00) is used in the other months. In 2016, Northern Cyprus changed to Turkey Time (TRT) (UTC+03:00) after Turkey decided not to change its clocks back,[1] but reverted to EET on October 29, 2017.[2]
