טיילנו בפאפוס, קפריסין 3 נשים לסופ״ש ביולי 2026. הרגשנו יחסית מאוד בטוח להסתובב ולדבר בעברית. יש המון תיירים ישראלים ואווירה די בטוחה בעיקר באיזור המרכזי של הטיילת , שהלכנו ברגל קצת יותר רחוק למסעדה רחוקה יותר ראינו בחור מקועקע בסמלים של נאציזם ופלסטין אבל חצינו לצד השני והרגשנו בסה״כ מאוד בנוח

I've visited 3 times in Larnaca, Paphos and Limassol. All very enjoyable. Some antisemitic/anti-Israel graffiti. In Limassol on the beach we were accosted by a shouty "Free Palestine!" Muslim who tried to intimidate us. A friendly Larnaca local warned against walking alone at night looking Jewish.
