This was my first solo trip and it was amazing! I’ve been there for a week, and visited Paphos, Larnaca, Ayia Napa, and Nicosia. I think this was ideal itinerary, as I’ve stayed two nights in every city (except for Ayia Napa, as that was a day trip from Larnaca). I also visited the northern part of Nicosia (Lefkoşa), where I felt probably the best. It has an amazing vibe and I think it’s safer than the Cypriot part. I definitely want to see more of Northern Cyprus!

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).

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

You can walk at night without a worry . Kyrenia is a small city and everything is in a walkable distance . People mind their business and don’t bother at all. Locals are respectful no matter of your gender,nationality,sexual orientation,race ,age,etc . I would recommend it as a safe place

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 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 ☀️

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
