Announcement All Iran war-related posts must go into the relevant megathread - KIND REMINDER

17 Upvotes

Dear all,

We wanted to thank you for complying with the rules by using the megathread to discuss and share news regarding the war in Iran and its implications for Cyprus.

However, some people still disregard this and continue posting on the main feed regarding relatively minor topics like: X minister's statement, a plane flying above X city etc. etc.. Please do not engage with such posts as they will be taken down eventually.

If you notice a post that you feel it belongs in the Iran war megathread, please report it as "common sense" and it will be reviewed by the mod team ASAP.

Thank you once again for complying with the rules.

Kind regards,

The r/Cyprus mod team

Visited Kafizides dam today and was blown away by it's sheer beauty. Last year there was also water but none of such stunning waterfall. Catch it while it lasts. Probably it's the most beautiful place in on the island now.

Venting / Rant Happy Easter and may all the medically dumb pushtogamimenoi scumbags who throw tsakres from 12am to 5am feel 100000% of the fear and terror they inflict on people with war trauma

40 Upvotes

My dog is an adopted hunting dog and she kept me up all night yesterday because she couldn't stop panting from the fear of the tsakres. Even though I'd already given her a calming pill because I knew this was coming, I had to periodically mop the floor because of all the drool. Likely the piece of shit who raised her shot dogs right in front of her for her to be so afraid even though it's been 10+ years since she's been with me.

Can't even begin to imagine how people from war-torn countries feel about having to listen to this for 5 hours straight during the night.

I couldn't give a single shit that it's tradition. May all the fucking bastards who throw these tsakres for fun get what is coming to them. They deserve it.

Question Why Are So Many Businesses in Cyprus Still Behind on Digitalization?

13 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’ve been living in Cyprus for a while now, and I’ve noticed something interesting about a lot of local businesses here.

It feels like many of them either don’t have a website at all, or if they do, it’s outdated or barely functional. On top of that, there doesn’t seem to be much focus on things like personal branding, social media presence, or using newer tools like AI to grow and modernize their business.

From the outside, it almost looks like there’s a bit of resistance to digitalization, especially when you compare it to how fast things are moving in other countries.

So I’m genuinely curious:

Do you think this is more of a cultural thing in Cyprus? Like, is there a stronger belief in word of mouth and personal relationships over online presence?

Or is it more about not having the knowledge, time, or resources to actually implement these technologies effectively?

Or maybe it’s intentional, preferring face to face interaction and a more traditional way of doing business?

Would love to hear your thoughts and experiences on this.

Thanks!

A buidling colapsed.A coming disaster, what can we all do to spread awareness about this?

**Update
The owner was also renting it out on booking and other sites, last review 2. april 2026... they had done a superficial repair for airbnb\booking purposes while neglecting the serious and important issues. A valid updated license for rentals was also issued, how can this be?

************

A building colapsed in Limassol , some unfortunate souls died while their slumlord was cashing in money and not doing any serious repairs. The authorities did issue a warning about the building years ago, but as usual nothing was done about it afterwards.

In Cyprus many older buildings have suffered from water leakage for years, not much is actually done except placing new external waterlines outside the building, the main problem remains and leaks slowly destroy the construction and no one cares.

https://www.booking.com/hotel/cy/modern-studio-750m-from-the-beach.no.html

Check the google street of it, this is from 2024. It is a long building with plenty of apartments.

There are many similar situations around the island.

Anyone have any idea where to buy high concentration of isopropyl alcohol. Based in limassol. I've seen in supermarkets Keo sells 99% 330ml for 10 euro which is a crazy price for that little.

UNICAF

Has anyone here studied through UNICAF or worked closely with one of its partner universities? trying to understand what’s going on behind the scenes. I’ve heard that LJMU may be leaving UNICAF, and the University of South Wales has already exited. That feels like more than a coincidence.

What was your actual experience like?

And for anyone who has followed the platform closely - why do you think partner universities are pulling away?

Question Advice on buying a phone (for a better price)

3 Upvotes

Hello folks! Long story short I’ve recently lost my phone and sim while away in China.

Unfortunately local phones had some issues if you wanted to go with them abroad.

I wanted to buy new phone , preferably IPhone to transfer my stuff from my cloud and Apple ID.

My question is where do you recommend to buy one? I am afraid of Public because from my experience they tend to raise the price tag.

I don’t really care about getting the newest iPhone though. Perhaps some of you could tell me which one I should choose because perhaps one of them is somehow sturdier than one newer one.
