What’s with all these Greeks, with Greek phone numbers and Greek Revolt accounts begging up and down the beach in Larnaca?

Honestly, I find it absolutely ridiculous and appalling , that a restaurant uses AI generated photographs on their Wolt menu.

How bad could your food look like, that you have to generate the images with an AI tool?

How on earth does Wolt not even run a simple check with basic AI checkers?

Restaurant here.

Hey everyone!

I am looking for firewood for fireplace during the winder, I’ve heard that you can go to special places that are being deforested, pay like 20€ and cut your own wood, is that true?

I know you can get on Bazaraki/Facebook, but from my experience the wood is not the best and some people charge ridiculous prices. But if there is someone around Paphos that is good, a contact would be much appreciated!

Any cool indoor pools for kids? We're visiting for a week and just looking for a day pass etc.

I recently assembled my old PC, It used to work before. 6-8+years old.
I can't seem to get it into the bios to boot. Its stuck with the DRAM led on. It started 1,2 times - when moving it to power it on again; its only restarting and trying to training memory I think. Looping.

I dont have any spare parts to test though.
I tried contacting nearby shops but none of them yet replied or answering the phone lol.

If theres anybody reading this from Larnaca, maybe with its own shop; or just as a hobby would be cool if somebody able to help out :-) Id looked forward to set it up as a little homeserver. ^^

What’s happening? Why there is so many TOO MUCH loud noises? Much louder then usual kids on dirt bikes or scooters. Also big explosions. It was not like that for oxi day last year.

Also is there any plan of authorities to punish it anyhow? That’s annoying as hell.

Hey! I’ve just moved to Nicosia, and I’m wondering if I can drink the tap water in my apartment. I read that tap water is generally safe unless it comes from the roof tank. But how can I tell whether my tap water is from the tank or from the "normal water pipeline"?

Also, do you have any recommendations on where to buy water? I only have smaller shops near my apartment that only sell normal bottled water, and I don't have a car to go to a bigger supermarket and buy a big jug. Is it possible to order water from somewhere that isn't too expensive? How does it work here?

Thank you!

Επιτέλους βρήκα λίγο χρόνο να δω τα πιο πρόσφατα στοιχεία της CYSTAT για τους μισθούς και προσπάθησα να τα συνδυάσω με στοιχεία για την κατανομή των μισθωτών ανά υπηκοότητα.

Hi, I moved to Cyprus and started seeing a Cypriot guy. After I ended things, he started stalking me. I went to the police, but the officer I spoke to later invited me to dinner. Now I don’t know who to trust or where to turn.
I also feel uncomfortable when I go out because I notice how local men staring and saying stuffs at me. I’ve been extremely anxious and depressed since coming here. I’m scared to go out alone in the evening. I live in Limassol.
Is this a common experience for women here? What would you recommend I do?
Thank you

Coming from Berlin I find offer of beer in my local beer store in Cyprus very disappointing. I can drive to any city as long as store is specialized in high quality beer. I am not talking only craft, but also good traditional beer from Belgium, something from Asheville USA or good beer from Portland, anything from Omnipollo Sweden or some hidden gems from Cyprus, even mass produced beers like Pilsner. I will drink any beer as long as it is good.

Hi, I’m completing my PhD that explores tourists' perceptions of Cyprus hotels and their communications.

Can you help and participate in an online survey? Your experience matters and it will take around 10-15 minutes to complete it.

You’re eligible if you’re 18+ and stayed at least once in a Cyprus hotel in 2024, 2025, or 2026.

For every completed questionnaire, I’ll buy an extra treat for one of 42 Cypriot cats living in my colony (one of them pictured, his name is Sting)! No cheating 🐈

Hi guys, I recently visited a showroom to buy a second-hand car and put a deposit down on a Mazda 2.

When I got home, I checked the VIN on some Japanese auction websites and found records suggesting the odometer had been rolled back by around 12,000 km sometime after the auction but before the car arrived in Cyprus.

It arrived in February 2025 and, as far as I can tell, has been sitting in the showroom ever since. When I confronted the dealer, he said that “all imports in Cyprus are like this” and that 12,000 km was nothing to worry about.

He’s offering a three-year warranty, but I’m concerned about the car’s history and whether the mileage discrepancy would make it difficult to sell in the future.

Has anyone dealt with something similar in Cyprus? Would you go ahead with the purchase, or just get your deposit back?

Is it normal in Cyprus for gardeners to use power tools and leaf blowers at 8am almost every single day? I know garden maintenance needs to be done, but holy shit. I can’t remember the last time I woke up and there wasn’t the sound of an engine right outside my door.

For context, I live in a gated complex where 90% of the houses are holiday rentals for tourists. There’s also a “neighbourhood committee” and communal fees to pay, etc. Idk if that’s relevant, but thought I’d mention it.

Most of the time, when I look out my window to see what they’re even doing, they’re either trimming perfectly healthy trees to within an inch of their lives, leaving them looking like ridiculous stumps with no foliage, OR they’re using leaf blowers to blow leaves from one corner of the road to the other.

Do these gardeners simply have contracted hours that they need to fill in whatever way they can?… Because it doesn’t feel like what they’re doing actually benefits the gardens or trees, either practically or aesthetically.

I’d get it if they were actually making the place look better, but from what I can tell the only thing they’ve achieving is giving me a daily headache.

I hate to be “that person” but are there any laws about noise pollution here?…

I’ve tried to ignore it for years but it’s starting to genuinely effect my sleep and daily life. I work from home so it’s incredibly distracting.

Idk. I’m pretty sure they’re not breaking any rules and I doubt anything can actually be done to stop it, but I’m moody and I guess this is just the only place I could think of to. Pls ignore me.

Hey everyone!

I'm heading to Cyprus for a holiday from November 2nd to 13th, and I'm looking for some recommendations from local vapers or anyone who's visited the island.

I'll have a rental car and plan to explore pretty much the entire island, so location doesn't matter at all. I'm happy to drive anywhere for a really good vape shop!

I'm mainly interested in disposable vapes, especially:

• The most popular bestsellers in Cyprus
• High-puff-count disposables
• Unusual or interesting devices
• Brands and models that are hard to find elsewhere
• Shops with a huge selection

I'm a bit of a disposable vape maniac, so the bigger, weirder, or more interesting the device, the more curious I get. 😂

I'd love to hear about your personal experiences, favourite brands, and which vape shops are actually worth visiting.

I'm not necessarily looking for the cheapest options. I'm more interested in variety, interesting products, and reputable shops selling genuine devices.

Any recommendations are welcome, no matter where on the island!

Thanks in advance! 🇨🇾

Hi! My names Gabrielle Niki and i’m a Cypriot oil painter from the UK! Most of my pieces are based on my heritage and pure love for Cyprus. I’ve attached some of my work above :) I’m on reddit just to find cool reference pictures for my paintings- i’ve used quite a few of my own but unfortunately i’m not a great photographer. I love to paint people, animals- not so great with landscapes but send the best pictures you can find!!

Do you guys follow the premier league too or any other leagues? Are there any Cypriot scousers?

It's so nice visiting other countries and sitting outdoors in restaurants and breathing fresh air. In Cyprus, it's just smoke, after smoke, after smoke.

I don't mind you smoking - but f'in hell stop making me smoke too.

The amount of smoking in restaurants is just wild.
