Having only been here a few days, a few things that we, as Americans, should have researched first / been aware of are: 1) driving is on the left side of the road; 2) electrical outlets are different than European and American outlets; 3) the water - in Larnaca at least - is VERY hard and full of minerals, so stay near a kiosk or grocery store to get bottled drinking water; 4) toilet paper does not go into the toilets, so keep that in mind; and 5) electricity is very expensive on the island so be cognizant of power usage. Not sure if some of these “tips” only apply to Larnaca, but we will find out if the same holds true in Limassol and Paphos once we venture that way later this week!
@@healthandharmony I just came from southern Europe actually :) I was just commenting on Rico’s video about the diving bit since his vid didn’t mention left side of the road. And, since I just came from Europe, and Cyprus is in Europe, I had no idea that the outlets were different! Even Turkey has standard European outlets, so it came to quite a surprise that Cyprus had different outlets. Furthermore, the only place I encountered not-flushing-toilet paper has been Mexico, so just another thing I found curious about Cyprus that would make for great RUclips video content.
Very on-point tips, Velouria!! For "historic" reasons, we have UK outlets in Cyprus. As for the water, it is pretty much hard all over the island, apart from the mountainous areas. They have beautiful water up there!!
@@bluepen3326 just some curiosities we found coming from Portugal 🙃 and as soon as we get a road back, we will rent a car and explore the mountains! Currently in Paphos and literally the main road by our Airbnb has been ripped out. Couldn’t even leave the parking lot if we had a car 😱
My personal opinion about Cyprus: 1. Don't expect a true European experience (on paper, yes, but in reality, no!) 🙅♂️ 2. Forget about making or saving money here! 🚫💰 3. Working here won't give you a good lifestyle - they expect you to work day and night for peanuts! 😤 4. A better future for your kids? Forget it! Cypriots won't let foreigners work in government, banks, or other top jobs. 🙅♂️💼 5. Time has no meaning here. Waiting two months could mean waiting two years! ⌛️🤷♂️ 6. Don't expect quick answers over the phone. You'll talk to 20 people and still not get anywhere! 📞🤯 But hey, there are some good things too: - If you're loaded, you can live well. 💸😎 - Evenings are amazing! 🌃✨ - The food is delicious! 😋 - The weather is fantastic for most of the year! ☀️😎
bro.. limassol has the longest sea side road with alllll sandy beaches. from the old port area (akti kiverniti/zoo) till even saint raphael hotel/malindi beach! its more than 12 KM! also lady's mile! .. actually if you drive outside limassol such as kourio beach or the one you show on your videos with is actually paphos.. you can find beach with pebbles! i think you missed that or you just didnt go to a lot of beaches in limassol!!
Thank very interesting. It’s always good to have a true perspective of a country and not just “rose tinted glasses”. That being said, I really couldn’t find anything particularly negative. Thank you!
4 days here with kids, and we've seen racism, disrespectful staff at shops, lack of manners, and a lot of hate and angry people. Will not come here again, I'm sure this is what they were aiming for anyway. Not impressed
If things are closed on Greek side then just head North...ps im beginning to like all your videos, & i most definitely will retire with my wife in Cyprus ina few years, we both have chronical athritis, so the climate is just perfect for us....Thanks alot for sharing your experience...
I totally agree with your comments about recycling, but many of the old don't understand or care then you have the normal Cypriot attitude of I can't be arsed, I can drive around our streets on a Friday evening before both types of recycle vehicles come and 1 in 5 houses have recycle outside
Hi Rico! I'm going to Cyprus very soon and before going I was wondering if there is a particular dress-code for entering Orthodox Churches there? Because I know that in some countries, you need to have the shoulders covered, sometimes shorts are not allowed etc. Is that the case for Cyprus? Thank you for this video, it is very helpful by the way!
Hey there, happy to hear that. You will love Cyprus. From what I know is that legs and shoulders are covered for women and long shorts plus covered chest for men.
Hi I live in Cyprus and can tell you to dress sensibly when entering holy sites , there is no dress code but too much bare skin is frowned upon . Also avoid any red clothing as red is the national color of Turkey which is occupying a third of Cyprus so you may get some funny looks , you just blend in better without red and you will not see any red clothing elsewhere .
@@roddychristodoulou9111 Hi Roddy, thank you for your answers. Although I already came back from Cyprus 😅 And I had a wonderful time there, surely one of my favorite travels, would definitely come back!
@@dimitrispc2629 The Treaty of Guarantee is a treaty between Turkey, Cyprus, Greece, and the United Kingdom that was promulgated in 1960. So, Turkey has rights on the island.
What's wrong with being religious and traditional?. It's not like you have to wear the hijab or burga or lock you up in prison if you kiss publicly with your boyfriend/girlfriend publicly.
Hey, very happy to hear that. I would say it depends very much on your skills. Modern companies in Limassol are always looking for sales & marketing people, as well as hotels and restaurants are currently looking for foreign speaking people, especially during the summer. There are some great FB groups about CY Jobs, I recommend checking them out to see what's currently going on. Best of luck!

Hello! Thank you for such a useful video. I subscribed. I saw your video about living costs in Cyprus (about 3 years ago) and I wonder how much do you pay for rent now (in that video it was 470 €)
Firstly most of Limassols sea fron and by the hotels and Ladys Mile are mostly sandy, the video you show is of Aphrodite's Rock near Paphos not Limassol
Shop closing, in the winter months everything is like 1 to 3 in the summer it's 1 to 4 there again as Cyprus like he says is religious the 15th of August is a big day here, so everything is closed, no exceptions, this is when Cypriot companies close for 2 or three weeks as the workers are off then, Christmas is not celebrated like ours, Easter is a big thing, the 6th of January known locally as The Foda is big
It's very dangerous driving there . Every time I go out I come across some kind of accident . So be extra careful.cars will come out of side roads and make you stop for them . Where I come from . Cars on the main road have right of way . NOT IN PAPHOS obviously .force your way out and don't take too much notice of traffic lights either.
Driving in Cyprus is similar to the UK,Personally I have been going there for 20 odd years and have never had a problem with the driving or the roads .
No nightlife culture in Cyprus??? You saying that?? A German?? I was for 10 days in Munich summer 2021 and everything was closed at 20:30!!! Yes, you are right! No huge nightclubs with very famous djs, staying till morning in the middle of the winter, drinking till turned to "animal", if this is what you want!! But we have very nice pubs and clubs for music, not to mention taverns with live music! As said to another video, "you have to embrace the culture"!
Hi I'm from America and Live in Nicosia but I would like more advice and information on how i can live with a visa work permit. Its so complicated and I keep getting different answers.
I don’t think any one cares as long as there’s too much PDA. Just like I could give my hubby a quick kiss but wouldn’t go hot and heavy in public. Just basic awareness:)
Regarding rentals etc, the country is suffering with greed, yes Greed, even rent for locals is very very expensive, they have had demonstration in city halls about this, but the government will not cap it or approach the subject so tourists should not moan as even the locals feel it
Why don't you stay in the NORTH and live in the SOUTH? The Currency Turkish Lira (1Euro=35 TL). After all thousands of Greek Cypriots go across everyday and there is some things you cannot Get in the South; Casinos and Night Clubs...
I visited Larnaca last year in time for the return of the flamingos. So amazing. Loved this country. The people were so nice. We have been living in Israel and the biggest complaint I have is the trash everywhere. All over the beaches and streets. I would really like to help them with that too😂
Fake information about Limassol, the sea front is all sand up to the hotels and including the hotels, Ladys Mile is 75 percent all sand, and after the Yermasogia area the beach's are all sand outside all the hotels along there, so miss leading
Whats wrong with this guy's pronunciation? Mallllorca? Its Mayorca....Agios Nikolaaaos? It's Agios Niko-laos. And his English sounds like a German-Norwegian dialect spoken in Denmark.
Whaat? As a Limassolian im felling attacked. We have sandy beaches! From the end of Molos (city center) to Ayios Tychonas, around 15km of sandy beaches. Have a visit.
One thing not mentioned probably because your are lucky , it is highly corrupt country in all areas of authority and those who have connections so if you experience bad behaviour illegal activities by individuals or authorities just pay and walk away because you may end up beaten and locked up and with a criminal record too, so pay shut up and walk away
30 euro's per person for food is rubbish, a full meze in Paphos harbour which is expensive tourist area fish meze is 24.95 per person thats a meze not a meal, a meal will cost you the MAX 25, you can get a meat meze loads of dish's at Mamouds in Limassol for 15 euro's per person, where are you eating every night The Four Seasons 5 star hotel, this is disinformation
Westerners say that about all middle eastern countries, yet your people are escpaing and flooding to our countries, if you dont like it, then stay away.
sounds like you dont really like it here .....i dont drive and find the buses in Paphos great and very cheap also thank god not to many night clubs ,paphos is an amazing place to live
How ignorant, you’ve been living in Cyprus so long, and you’ve never educated yourself on the partition and colonialism? "If you don’t know abt it, just stay quiet on it" noo go educate yourself ! It’s really not that hard. This only continues to make Cypriots and their issues invisible.
Well The north part of the island is occupied by Turkey since 1974..! MILITARY OCCUPIED AREAS..! The majority of all those are still our stolen lands and properties..! PLEASE we expect from you people to RESPECT that..
So all I got from this video that there are a lot of religious things because religious and this dude likes to look into people's homes where are religious things and religious people are there. Also it's expensive yet it is not growing because instead of investing in infrastructure they just don't, so this money you will spend there, will not be reinvested like in other countries properly.
11 th thing to know.Cyprus does have poissonous snakes and are a protected species. nr 12 it s a bit dissapointing that Cyprus does not have a regula car ferry service considering that all the greek islands are well connected by ferry
Lol but Cyprus is one big island so can't be connected to other while other islands are far away from Cyprus. Are you from USA? Cause your geography level isn't understandable
Thank you very much for this usefull information. We are going to Cyprus, Paphos in August this year. Im going to have a look at your videos for recommendations.
I have just come back from holiday in Paphos. I found the bus service very good there and they also seemed to run on time, but found the drivers grumpy and unhelpful!
Looking forward to travel to cyprus again! Me and my lady, visited Aya Napa last year, this year (Also in end of may) we travel back again, but this time with kids.
You must live in a shell, big DJ's come to Cyprus, Ayia napa is jumping disco's and bars every night till 4am, Nicosia is now good but expensive like visiting London or any capital, Limassol is a dead Donkey, just coffee shops, Paphos on the other hand is more where the Brits go if they want both
I personally would not judge a place on having “huge parties where everybody is throwing up”, sounds really dumb. Plus, Mallorca is pronounced “Mayorca”.
Nothing is more bad then Philippines, never again. The relligion thing is maybe same here. but even more strong. so as soon u single all is ok but not marrie. With a wife from there and all the family law it get hell.
I would say the Blue Lagoon in Polis and the beaches in Ayia Napa or in the North are definitely beautiful with crystal clear water and white sand. But Limassol and Paphos might be a bit rocky and too grey for people with high standards.
Oh man! Garbage… I live in Limassol more then 2 years , and still cant adopt about rubbish , garbage and this people who can throw away anything and dont care🤦🏻♂️ But is not only people , government don’t care as i can see . Very sad situation ((
I lived in Cyprus three years ,i didn't like many things. There is trash in the streets. There are many people who smoke tobacco in Cyprus ,much more than in Western Europe, all neigbours would smoke cigarettes. There are also many bad roads even in touristic places like Ayia Napa, ,no sidewalks ,cypriots are dependant on the car very much , also there are a lot of old cars which pollute the air ,they should be forbidden. I lived in Spain some years, spanish islands are cleaner, no trash outside or open trash bins, they have more green areas parks, and are better organized.
Cyprus religion do's not effect partying etc, look at the UK, Winchester City has a Cathedral which the law there says everything must close by 12pm Saturday nights so your wrong there and being married to a Greek for 41 years I do know, Religion to a Cypriot is a private personal thing saying what you do say makes people worry about it, but they never should

You should say also that the Cypriots speak the Cypriot dialect of Greek but you have to know formal Greek to get in convenience. It is crucial!
I have just come back from holiday in Paphos. I found the bus service very good there and they also seemed to run on time, but found the drivers grumpy and unhelpful!
Can confirm that. The bus services in the Paphos area seem very reliable. Spend my holidays in Polis and the busses from and to Paphos came on time.
Looking forward to travel to cyprus again!
Me and my lady, visited Aya Napa last year, this year (Also in end of may) we travel back again, but this time with kids.
Lovely! Enjoy your trip guys.
You must live in a shell, big DJ's come to Cyprus, Ayia napa is jumping disco's and bars every night till 4am, Nicosia is now good but expensive like visiting London or any capital, Limassol is a dead Donkey, just coffee shops, Paphos on the other hand is more where the Brits go if they want both
I personally would not judge a place on having “huge parties where everybody is throwing up”, sounds really dumb. Plus, Mallorca is pronounced “Mayorca”.
Very interesting, thank you for your information 🌹💕
Dude you forget one of the
most important things.
A lot of them don’t like foreigners.There is huge amount of xenophobia there .
What a load of shit. Cypriots are very friendly.
Nothing is more bad then Philippines, never again. The relligion thing is maybe same here. but even more strong. so as soon u single all is ok but not marrie. With a wife from there and all the family law it get hell.
I can agree, and 6:49 No 8. Garbage on some of streets, is most, what surprise me. And thank you for one more informative video!
Yes, very sad to see it sometimes.. you're welcome, happy to see you like the videos. Thank you so much for the support! :)
Yes true imported goods are more expensive but fuel here which is imported is cheaper than countries like the UK which export it
Cyprus being British colony, uses some British standards, as well as driving on left side, 3 pins outlet, etc
The public transport problem is a European problem, the British are used to this, the bus's have airconditioning
I don't recommend Cyprus at all.
Good! Stay in Asia!
@marioshadjikyriacou3381 Asia? I don't live in Asia but I wish I lived in South Korea, Japan or Singapore great countries ❤
Thank you so much for your wonderful tips..
How would you compare the beaches to the rest of Europe?
I would say the Blue Lagoon in Polis and the beaches in Ayia Napa or in the North are definitely beautiful with crystal clear water and white sand. But Limassol and Paphos might be a bit rocky and too grey for people with high standards.
Oh man!
Garbage…
I live in Limassol more then 2 years , and still cant adopt about rubbish , garbage and this people who can throw away anything and dont care🤦🏻♂️
But is not only people , government don’t care as i can see .
Very sad situation ((
Yes, I totally get you, that's exactly what I mean.
Westerners always comes to middle eastern countries and tell us how to live our lives, If you dont like it then dont come to Cyprus.
I moved to Ayia Napa some days ago brother haha cheers
Welcome! Ayia Napa is very rare. I don't know many people that live there! Interesting choice. Why Ayia Napa?
I lived in Cyprus three years ,i didn't like many things. There is trash in the streets.
There are many people who smoke tobacco in Cyprus ,much more than in Western Europe, all neigbours would smoke cigarettes.
There are also many bad roads even in touristic places like Ayia Napa, ,no sidewalks ,cypriots are dependant on the car very much , also there are a lot of old cars which pollute the air ,they should be forbidden.
I lived in Spain some years, spanish islands are cleaner, no trash outside or open trash bins, they have more green areas parks, and are better organized.
Is Cyprus is good for international student?
Dont come to Cyprus to study. Bad country.
Cyprus religion do's not effect partying etc, look at the UK, Winchester City has a Cathedral which the law there says everything must close by 12pm Saturday nights so your wrong there and being married to a Greek for 41 years I do know, Religion to a Cypriot is a private personal thing saying what you do say makes people worry about it, but they never should
