What do expats find most challenging?

Answer this Question

We asked expats and digital nomads what they find the most challenging about the local culture in Peyia. They wrote...

"Expats in Peyia 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 not everyone speaks English. 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 bureaucracy and red tape involved in dealing with local authorities can be frustrating. Lastly, the intense summer heat can be a challenge for those not used to Mediterranean climates," commented one expat who made the move to Peyia, Cyprus.
