Beautiful country, worth visiting. Feels safe for women to travel there, people always ready to help you. I haven’t met any scammers nor pickpockets, which says a lot about country’s safety. Many fascinating beaches and places to have fun.

I felt very safe in Larnaca , people are very helpful and generous .Wven thought i thought it will be more expensive , prices in some of restaurants were quite „normal” equal to quality of the food which in Cyprus is just amazing
Posted: May 1, 2025Experienced: February, 2025Cyprus is great for relaxing vacation because of the sea, beaches, warm climate and food. I was accompanied so felt safe, not sure if it’s the same for solo travellers. Restaurants and cafes price range are average for southern Europe, anyway usually everything is delicious, especially seafood. Big downside is public transport as there are none, so rent a car right on airport parking.

I honestly have mixed feelings about Cyprus. I went there to see my friend who was in Nicosia on Erasmus. It's good that during my stay in Nicosia I decided to go on short trips to Limmasol and Ayia Napa. If I hadn't done that, I would have been disappointed with the whole trip. I'll explain. Nicosia is nice, but for a person like me it's too boring. 2 days and I was already bored with the city. The other two cities were beautiful visually and I really liked it there. However, the whole of Cyprus gives off the atmosphere of a holiday resort. The only thing in these cities is the beach and hotels. As for safety - during the day I kept my phone very close to me (but I guess it's a habit so that I don't get robbed outside my country hahah). At night, however, in two clubs I had very unpleasant situations. The men were very pushy. One followed me all night and the other pushed himself into an empty bathroom after me. I felt unsafe.

My first month in Paphos was a nightmare… Men would honk at me on the street, stop their cars to ask if they could take me somewhere, and one drunk man at the bus stop at 8 p.m. threw insulting comments at me. I lived in Athens for many years, and I never felt the same fear of walking home alone there as I do here.
Posted: October 2, 2025limassol is pretty safe. its very quiet here and not much of a party scene so its hard to get in trouble but the men here, usually the middle Eastern, Turkish, Arab men are very aggressive and bold to say the least. they aren't shy to cat call you or slowly pull their cars up next to you or even poke their heads out the window to shout or call you. A friend and I got followed once. we were in the downtown area but it was still very creepy.

Paphos is very safe in my opinion. Like any other place it depends on the area. I enjoy afternoon activities like running by the beach, or evening walks near the harbour. It is usually filled with tourists, families and the people there are very welcoming.
Posted: July 23, 2025As long as you dont walk alone at night in touristic areas, you will be fine. Cypriots are not usually the problem, foreigners that live in Cyprus sometimes are, usually arabic. Be aware and stay safe

Hey, my name is Tal 🌸 How has your week been? Here are a few little things I love - I love journaling. I love how things unfold, and how much beauty there is in the moments that make us stronger and better humans in this world. The best gift you can ever give your loved ones is being loving toward yourself - how amazing is that? Kindness is the most precious thing we can hold in our world 💌 I value supporting local farmers. Sustainability. Old barns. Unplanned picnics. The smell of damp soil after rain. Walking on trails. Horse riding. Capturing beautiful moments of loved ones. Old movies. Thoughtful people. Watercolor painting outdoors. Gardening. God bless - I'll find more 🤍🌱🥹💭🪞✨💫
