Cyprus Post, the national postal operator, traces its origins to the Austrian postal service of 1845 and the Ottoman post offices of 1871. Under British administration from 1878, a modern system was established, evolving into the Department of Postal Services upon independence in 1960. Key milestones include:
Introduction of the alphanumeric postcode format (e.g. CY-1900 NICOSIA) in 1994
Establishment of the Cyprus Postal Museum in 1981 showcasing items from the 15th century onward
Adoption of the “Cyprus Post” brand and modern sorting technologies in the 2000s
