limassol 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.

As 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

Overall safe, but still good to be careful. A lot of annoying weird people like everywhere. Try not to walk alone at night and you’re good. Public transport is okay but still stay aware at all times.

It's a really safe and quiet place, and I have walked alone during the night sometimes and I felt pretty safe, but lately the population is growing because of illegal immigrants and they do cause trouble sometimes but same cam be said for local youth aswell

I would say very safe i am not scared to walk at night although at some spots some suspicious people might be hanging there but not common to come across unless intentionally. I recommend limassol as well as paphos very much, paphos is 30 minutes from limassol ! :)
