"In Nicosia, it is important to be respectful of the local culture and customs. It is considered impolite to show too much skin in public, so it is best to dress modestly. It is also important to be aware of the local religious customs and to avoid making any comments that could be seen as offensive or disrespectful. Additionally, it is important to be aware of the local language and to avoid speaking loudly or using slang. Finally, it is important to be aware of the local customs regarding greetings and to avoid making any physical contact with someone of the opposite gender," said a member in Nicosia, Cyprus.
