What do expats find most challenging?
We asked expats and digital nomads what they find the most challenging about the local culture in Ayia Napa. They wrote...
"Expats in Ayia Napa often find the language barrier to be the most challenging aspect of the local culture, as Greek and Turkish are the main languages spoken and English is not as widely spoken outside of the tourist areas. The slower pace of life can also be a challenge for those used to a faster, more hectic lifestyle. The Cypriot concept of time, which is more relaxed and less punctual than in many Western countries, can be difficult to adjust to. Additionally, the intense summer heat can be a challenge for those not used to Mediterranean climates. Lastly, navigating the local bureaucracy can be a challenge, as it can be complex and time-consuming, particularly for those who do not speak the local language," commented one expat who made the move to Ayia Napa, Cyprus.
