I wouldn't take film, particularly if you haven't been shooting it regularly.
Take your *istD and a backup digital point and shoot if you can -- or a good
phone camera. My iPhone 5 is as good as the point and shoots of just a few

It depends on how long you're going for, and how important it is to you.
When I went to Fez in Morocco a few years ago I took my Olympus E-3, but
forgot my battery charger. It proved very difficult to find a new one - I
searched for several days before I found a Chinese knock-off version. One
On a trip like that, I'd carry one camera that I was thoroughly
comfortable and familiar with, and a small, light camera just in
case and for when the regular camera is too much to carry along.
If you've got a freezer full of film that you haven't processed yet
for lack of funds or time or
Assuming you are flying to Cyprus - you might want to check the
airline's website and see if they have any advisories about film. The
Xray machines can fog it, especially exposed rolls. But it has been
years since I flew and took film, so maybe the xray machines are not so
powerful these days.
In a word, no.
Save your film use for controlled, close to home conditions - where
you can *enjoy* it. Air travel, x-rays and ignorant security personnel

I say do it. The shots you take with the film will have to count a lot more and
you will be forced to take more time. If your budget is low, you probably don't
have many other options anyways. What do you have to lose? This is a once in a
lifetime opputunity, have some fun with it.

Just take one film body and supplement it with your dslr when lighting no
longer matches your film speed. Or get an mz-s and reload rolls at will. :)
