Cyprus - Gas There's no mains gas in Cyprus although, at the beginning of 2005, the Cypriot government was in discussion with Qatar about the possible supply of liquefied natural gas. If this materialises, it won't be until around 2009, so at least until then, users will be restricted to bottled gas. The price of bottled gas is controlled by the government and is currently around CY�4.50 for a 10kg bottle, which will last an average family around a month when used just for cooking. The initial price of a gas container is around CY�15, and these can be bought from petrol stations, grocery shops and supermarkets.  In rural areas, many people use as many gas appliances as possible, e.g. for cooking, hot water and heating, although for a central heating system you will need a gas tank (e.g.500 litres). You can have a combined gas hot water and heating system  installed, which is relatively inexpensive as well as being cheap to run.
