What do expats find most challenging?

"Expats in Paralimni often find the language barrier to be the most challenging aspect of the local culture, as Greek is the primary language spoken and not everyone may speak English fluently. The slower pace of life can also be a challenge for those accustomed to a faster, more hectic lifestyle. The Cypriot concept of time, which is more relaxed and less punctual than in many Western cultures, can be difficult to adjust to. Additionally, the strong emphasis on family and community in Cypriot culture can make it difficult for expats to integrate if they do not have existing connections in the area. Lastly, the hot summer climate can be a challenge for those not used to such high temperatures," said another expat in Paralimni, Cyprus.
