Safety

It's essential for travelers to exercise the usual safety precautions, but overall, Cyprus is known for being a welcoming and safe destination for solo female travelers. As a female traveler, I felt safe walking throughout the day in Cyprus although I was mostly visiting the Greek majority cities. The sidewalks are very well lit and maintained, as it is a pedestrian-friendly country.

My Favorite Memories

Watching hundreds of flamingos in the Flamingo Lake of Larnaca and do the famous "Flamingo Dance."

Traveling with a tour group into the countryside, not far from Larnaca, and interacting with local businesses such as beekeepers, halloumi producers, and feeding donkeys.
