How safe is Northern Cyprus for female travelers?

Cyprus is a beautiful country with a lot of different amazing cultural influences and great food. The prices are pretty low in the smaller towns and high in touristy areas(like any other country too). The weather, water and beach was amazing. I did feel safe most of the time since I always traveled in a bigger group, there was some street harassment going on though. Overall a really nice place, there is a lot of trash on the roadside and just in general lying around in nature which kind of sucks though(and is probably mostly the fault of tourism). Also a lot of strays(I don't mind cause most of them were really friendly and I like animals) but definitely not everyones cup of tea ig.

In February, there are very few people in Cyprus, so sometimes you feel like you are in an abandoned city. The weather in February is still warm, there is no heat but it is the perfect time for walking and admiring nature. There are beautiful cliffs in Cyprus which are a bit far from the city where we lived (aya napa) but can be easily reached by bus. I highly recommend visiting the capital of Cyprus because it is the only capital that is divided into two parts - Turkish and Cypriot. I felt like I was in two different countries

I felt safe only with other people I recommend doing tattoos there, because they are very cheap in the north There are a few good restaurants in Nicosia, and they are quite cheap I spent around 1800€ in a month I was staying at an animal sanctuary, because i had my internship there Travelling in north cyprus is really difficult, you can only travel with taxi and it’s really expensive

Spent 4 days in Cyprus as a solo female traveller. Sadly didn’t have time to visit anything other than Limassol and Paphos. Generally inexpensive, you can pay for most things with card. Probably due to the towns I went to and the time of year I didnt find myself having a whole lot to do and see. Feel like its better as either a family vacation spot or if you like to party. Its pretty safe, I just wouldnt go out alone at night, I went out with some friends I met at my hostels - really recommend staying at hostels if youre going alone, plenty good ones

Loved Cyprus went solo as I went to a wedding but stayed longer as I wanted to explore and I had a amazing time, more on the pricey side once your there but so many activities and places to eat, and things to see. I felt save majority of the time but I did have one man who took an interest in me which made me feel a bit uneasy but other than that it was a safe place

My partner and I reside in Cyprus as he is Cypriot we love 10 minutes from the villages but we do go into the center often it is quite safe compared to most towns and cities around the world I can easily go out with my girl friends without needing men with us and take our small dogs for a drink or two without any worry

I came here a long time ago, and then I feel here in North Cyprus 100% safe all time. After 2022 here came to many new people, new immigrants, and now it 90%. It’s really safe here, but of course, you never know, cause we live in a man’s world

Cyprus is a small and safe island. There are many universities and international people around. Also local people very friendly. Im living in Famagusta. Unfortunately there is no local transportation for the nights. So you have to use taxi or stay close to one beachside so you can spend your time mostly in good places. +Cyprus s very warm& ı dont advice you to visit in summer times. Before june or after august ll be better to visit and enjoy the weather&beach&nature.
