In terms of religious, racial, economic and cultural diversity, are the people of this city or town diverse? Are they accepting of differences? Describe.

Mainly Greek Orthodox for religion. In Frenaros, there is a mix of British and Cypriots. I find the Cypriots very accepting - all my neighbors are Cypriots.

What are the main industries in this city? What types of career opportunities commonly exist? How do most people find new jobs?

Frenaros is a village and there is no real industry in the village. Most of the people work in the nearby town of Paralimni or in the resort areas nearby. So they would be involved in the service industry. There is some farming in the area.

In general, what are peoples' priorities in this city? For example, do lives revolve around work, family, socializing, sports, etc.?

Lives revolve around family and socializing. Family is very important in Cypriot culture.

If you love peace and quiet and a safe environment, this is the place. If you want an active life full of parties and events and need a lot of cultural variety (like museums, theaters, etc.), this is not the place for you.
