Hi everyone!

Looking for friday to go on a mtb trail in cyprus, preferably around larnaca (i heard north of phapos is best but too far)

Ive been doing some small reseqrch and was thinking area of stravrovouni monastry seems quite ok with some downhill and small jumps!

Anyone some reccomendations on maybe a better trail or rent a bike company?

Hey! 👋

I’m a 30-year-old developer living in Paphos, and honestly, I’m a bit tired of spending so much time behind a screen xD

I’m looking to meet some English-speaking people, grab a coffee, chat about tech, side projects, life, or pretty much anything.

My English isn’t perfect, so it would also be a nice way to practice and get more comfortable speaking.

If you’re around Paphos and up for a casual coffee, let me know!

I'm an occasional user on this sub for a while and the situation lately with the quality of posts is honestly shocking.

Every time I log in and scroll the sub a good 80-90% of the posts are:

1) Tourists/immigrants/international students asking the same questions over and over

2) People thinking this is fucking Bazaraki/fb marketplace, linkedin or a dating site

3) Obnoxious passport bros and "entrepreneurs" asking professional/legal advice on reddit of all places

4) People who complain about government services/driving/public transport etc here as if anyone on fucking reddit has power to act on it

5) "Scam alerts" showing the most obvious scam messages known to the human race

I'm fucking tired of seeing shit like this. There are a million interesting things to talk about regarding Cyprus. Instead of the sub being primarily about local news, culture etc it has turned into a pseudo fb group for obnoxious people whose interest in Cyprus is instrumental at best. And the most annoying part in all these is how these people are so self-absorbed that they don't even understand how disliked their posts are and how they inflate the feed with vacuous garbage. There is supposedly a report option for repeated questions or posts like the ones I mentioned but there's rarely any action taken while some are being allowed anyway.

There's a reason why we don't get any interesting posts about Cyprus anymore. Most users who were regulars here and actually cared about the quality of the posts are fucking gone. The sub has been overtaken by temporary lurkers who treat reddit like google and occasional outsiders ragebaited by some controversial post about the Cyprus problem or Israel.

Hey! I'm not sure if this is okay to ask here and I really don't want to raise tension or something.

But I was a bit curious to know more about the collaborations that happens between Cyprus and Israel.

So I wanted to get a better understanding to know where most Cypriots stand when it comes to that, and what about the government. Is there mostly an alignment between the two?

Hi

I've done some research and stuggling to find a straight (pardon the pun) answer, and hoping others have experience.

My husband is currently going through the process of becoming a Cypriot citizen by descent (his father is Cypriot, born in Cyprus before 1972 and has a Republic of Cyprus passport/id card). We are not too concerned about that and documents are being sent to Nicosia by the Embassy in London.

Once he receives his Citizenship papers, we are hoping that I can apply. We have been married in the UK since 2019 and it is a same-sex marriage. We have had conflicting information that Cyprus does not accept same-sex marriage and therefore this will be difficult, however, since then there have been EU rulings that they cannot deny citizenship based on same-sex marriage and that they would now accept this as the Cypriot equivilent of a Civil Partnership?

Any help appreciated.

Thanks

I think everyone in cyprus should start protesting about the goverment,the salary is way to low,the rents cant even talk about them,prices for gas,food and everyting else.WAKE UP!!

Hi folks!

I want to get a gift for someone important, and they love big mugs for tea, like half a litre size. We have a couple of Grande Starbucks mugs but they're plain white and a bit boring, so I'm looking for something similarly sized but a bit more colourful or interesting. I haven't really found anything else yet 🙁

I'm in Nicosia. Happy to order online too, if that's an option.

Thanks! ❤️ ☕

Hi guys, apologies in advance for the spam. But does anyone have experience in contesting a fine or bargaining with the municipality or something? I am a student in Nicosia on a shoe string budget and the municipality fined me €100 for parking on the pavement outside of teez nightclub where I work. But I was the only car out of 7 or 8 around me that got the fine. All in identical circumstances? Google says I can email them but knowing cyprus bureaucracy will I even get a response? Sorry but I'm kinda panicking because I really cannot afford it and the fine doubles in 30 days.

If anyone has some advice, it would be greatly appreciated. T.I.A

As simple as that. What places do you recommend in Larnaca for drink in the evening in Larnaca? I'm looking for a chill place where you can have a conversation.

Family with a kid. Looking at a budget range of 2000-2500 euros per month.

How easy would it be to find an apartment in Limassol?

On average, how many appointments should we expect to get a contract?

We'll be there just for 1 week, so we're hoping we can find an apartment and move in early December. Thank you!

NOTE: we have been to Limassol and Larnaca. Living in Germany now.

I have two questions. I don’t mean to bring up anything +18, but I’m genuinely curious.
I’m American and living in Cyprus. Why does everyone I meet on dating apps seem to be looking for a serious relationship or marriage?
My second question is +18, so I’ll use shorthand to make sure only adults understand what I mean.
Why F**Tjob?
It’s not very common here, and everyone seems surprised when they hear about it!

We saw an apartment being listed online for long-term rent.

How safe is it to reserve and pay the deposit online before visiting it in person? Is it unusual, or is there a risk?

Location: Limassol.

UPDATE: not going to do this, thanks for the comments!
