How safe is Kyrenia for women?

Kristina

Kyrenia is the city where I have been living for 13 years. In all these years, I have never faced harassment, robbery, or danger at night. When I lived on the ground floor, I often forgot to close the balcony and left, the door remained wide open and no one ever came in. I can also leave my car unlocked, I know that no one will open it. Once I forgot my wallet on the bus and the driver returned it to me. Crime is close to zero here. For me, this is an ideal place for permanent residence.

About me

I was born and raised in Ukraine. When I graduated from university, I went to work in northern Cyprus. 13 years have passed since then and I am very happy that I came here once. It is a very beautiful island with the clearest sea and kind local people. But most importantly, crime is close to zero here. as a girl who lives alone, this is very important. I live with 2 cats in a small house near the sea. I will be glad to show you this wonderful island, And also host (1 person). I'm heartbroken right now. I want to travel for 3-4 weeks. I've never been to Thailand. I am looking for psychological support, a companion and new friends
