I'm currently planning a trip to Cyprus for next month. What should I check out?
Check out some temples and shit. Depending how long you're there for, you can hit up Larnaca, Nicosia, Limassol, and Paphos.
I was there like 20 years ago, but Ayia Napa was famous for nude beaches.
If you have a EU passport you can go see the northern side. Nothing that interesting but at least you get the novelty of being in a disputed territory.

Paphos is a nice and quiet place.

Honestly I wasn't really planing to go to the Turkish side, other than maybe north Nicosia. Isn't the north still damages from the invasion?

Another guy replying: No, it isn't dangerous. Girne has a comfy harbour that is worth seeing, even though it's small. But Famagusta is absolutely worth a visit. There is a big section of the city (Varosha) that has been abandoned and fenced off since the invasion and it's quite surreal to hang at the beach while there is a line of dilapidated empty buildings behind you.
Anything but the north, recent political tensions guarantee a small wave of ethnic issues.

Not OP but I'm gonna piggy back onto OP's thread.
I'm of Greek Cyprian descent. As in, my Great grandfather and Grandfather came over here when my grandfather was very young. I look vaguely Mediterranean but I'm not exactly their poster boy. A lot of Greek dudes in this country can pick me out as being part Greek though.
Anyway, if I went to Cyprus, what kind of reception can I expect? Will I be drafted or some crap? Or will I be just another kid who looks vaguely like them? More importantly, how do locals respond to people like me, and is it at all worth mentioning I'm quarter Cyprian if asked?
>Thinking of visiting there with qt female friend who's also quarter Cyprian, but looks nothing like it
