"Expats in Nicosia often find the local culture to be quite different from what they are used to. The language barrier can be a challenge, as Greek is the official language and English is not widely spoken. Additionally, the local customs and traditions can be difficult to understand and navigate. Expats may also find the local bureaucracy and paperwork to be quite complex and time-consuming. Finally, the cost of living in Nicosia can be quite high, making it difficult for expats to adjust to the local lifestyle," remarked another expat in Nicosia, Cyprus.
