"Expats in Limassol often find the language barrier to be the most challenging aspect of the local culture. As English is not widely spoken, it can be difficult to communicate with locals and to access services. Additionally, the local customs and traditions can be difficult to understand and navigate for those who are not familiar with them. Furthermore, the cost of living in Limassol can be high, making it difficult for expats to adjust to the local lifestyle," remarked another expat who made the move to Limassol, Cyprus.
