During my stay in Coral Bay we experienced a burglary. Trying to obtain a crime report or incident number from local police (at Chief Inspector Level) was a no go. Cyprus does not provide such documentation to tourists.
Since our return to the UK it has been and continues to be an uphill battle with our insurance company. They refuse to contact the police, this is apparently the responsibility of the traveller.
I believe this needs to be made public especially when travelling to a country that does not apply to travel insurance policies.
