Is Cyprus safe for solo female travelers?

Cyprus is considered generally safe for solo female travelers and it often relies on tourists, which has enhanced its security measures. However, like any other destination, precautions are necessary. Petty thefts or pickpocketing can sometimes occur in crowded places. The majority of locals speak English and are usually helpful. Always stay cautious, especially during the night hours, and avoid isolated places.

Cyprus, Couple travel

It was a wonderful winter adventure. Cyprus in winter is beautiful. There aren’t many tourists, the sea is cool and pleasant, and there’s lots of sunshine. The beaches are fairly clean and the sea waves are huge and enjoyable. I highly recommend Cyprus in winter (I was in Larnaca, Limassol, and Paphos).

Cyprus, Group travel

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

Cyprus is a safe country in general, as well as Limassol, the city I live in. As women we always have to be careful tho, so I wouldn’t say it’s 100% safe, but I would say a solid 85% safe for women.

Cyprus

Cyprus felt very tourist friendly 😊 People were welcoming, most spoke English (but not all!) and getting around was easy. Great beaches, good food, and helpful service everywhere. I felt comfortable and safe the whole trip ☀️

Famagusta

I think it's a relaxed and peaceful city. The people have been very friendly; I felt comfortable walking around the streets at all times. I recommend visiting in the summer for more entertainment options

About me

Hello! My name is Sofia and I live in Cyprus. A small island in the Mediterranean Sea, that is in European Union. I studied mathematics and statistics, and I have my master’s degree in data analytics. I work as a strategy and operations manager in a tech company based in Europe. I mostly work from home which helps me travel a lot. I love traveling and I do it as frequent as I can, although sometimes it’s difficult to find company so I’m doing it alone. It would be great to meet some women with the same interests to travel with! My main goal for 2026 and 2027 is to visit countries in Asia. I’m ready to also host some women that want to experience Cyprus with a local.

About me

I immigrated in the island 10 years ago and have been enjoying my life here in Cyprus. I worked in many different roles starting from waitering and growing to admin position in real estate which led to business development, Forex, and just a year ago i shifted my career in children education business administration. I enjoy learning, recently graduated from MBA. I love hiking, nature, music, visiting places that echo something deep. I love growing and learning and questioning the mundane. I love meeting interesting people and enjoy a cup of tea. I work at the city but live permanently in the mountains which gives me a dream like balance between big and vibrant city life and serene mountains where the time stops.🌄🌄🌄
