Hi All



Coming next week with two teenagers, one almost 18 and the other almost 17 - what is the legal drinking age in bars, restaurants etc, they both enjoy the odd beer at home but i wondered wether they can have a drink in TRNC bars etc.



Cheers

As with smoking, there may be a legal age for drinking but I'm not sure many take too much notice of them.

Enjoy your holiday.

like with most things TRNC - the ability to part with the money is all you need......

Don't tell my kids that - I think I might tell them it's 21 - cheaper holiday and more beer for me!

They can enjoy a drink no problem. I see young people aged around 16 all the time in bars etc.

If you are hiring a car most places in TRNC won't let anyone drive under the age of 23 years.

This is not a Muslim country, It's officially secular.

most car rental places are minimum age of 25 years old, i came here when i was 24 and no one would hire a car to me, even as a named driver with my mum renting.
