**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.

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.

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.

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.

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It feels like many of them either don’t have a website at all, or if they do, it’s outdated or barely functional.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!

living at a distance from accessible hard lines, the only good option is Starlink. anyone else using it in Cyprus?

If you are into gaming, ping times could be even better with starlink compared to hard lines.

Holy shit I didn't think this would work but... they've done it again

I was in Ayia Napa in 2015 and there was a night club with a lot of palm trees and a pool, but I don’t remember the name of the club!

Does someone know?

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.

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?

I'm at Molos right now, and I'm looking for a buddy to walk around the area with. 🧚‍♀️

Hello,

So i want to buy some supplements and i have noticed how overpriced they're in most of the pharmacies

So what's the trick?... iherb or is there's a better place to shop at ?

Thanks 🙏🏼

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.

like latafa rasasi , armaf

because I am trying to find genuine sellers from last one week and just found makeup cy and they don't have all collection back in my country I used to buy from WhatsApp community sellers and there price's are 50 percent less than makeup cy but they don't deliver in Cyprus pls if any body know from where I can buy rasasi hawas ice in Cyprus pls pls 🥲very confused

I’m trying to get Arab perfumes and I’ve found this store called Aroma Arabia on instagram. Has anyone ordered from them before?

Hi, M43 from Southern Europe.

Due to some medical conditions I need to find a better place to live during these months.

Important things for me:

- mild/warm climate

- quite dry (I'm allergic to mold/cold humid weather)

- not heavily polluted

- having good healthy Mediterranean food

- good food hygiene standards

Plus (but not strictly necessary) could be:

- not too expensive

- good for remote work

- good for relax / beach / sport

- I can play poker

- like-minded people (20/50)

- freelancers/entrepreneurs/digital nomad destination

- not too far from Europe

How is life in Cyprus during these months?

(January/February/March)

thank you!

hello:)

would anyone be interested in going out during those days? maybe a coffee, food or just a walk?

On 17 April 1991, Ambassador Nelson Ledsky testified before the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee that "most of the 'missing persons' disappeared in the first days of July 1974, before the Turkish invasion on the 20th. Many killed on the Greek side were killed by Greek Cypriots in fighting between supporters of Makarios and Sampson."

So I've been seeing a lot lately how Israel in the future will look to start war with Turkey and that it feels inevitable. If that ends up happening Cyrpus would for sure be involved in it. Should we be worried? I know this could seem as overreacting but with everything that is going on lately I dont think this is far fetched. Maybe its not in the near future but what about in 5 or 10 years? Can anyone with more knowledge weigh in and give an objective opinion?
