🌍 my reflections after 10 amazing days in Cyprus 🇨🇾, the beautiful island located 3,000 km from Sweden (which is about a 4-hour flight), but only 70 km south of Turkey, 100 km west of Syria, and about 250 km northwest of Israel.

🚗 Left-hand driving is insane – don’t try this at home!

🔌 British electrical standards mean you’ll need adapters.

🤝 The people are incredibly kind, service-minded, and understanding.

🌿 Tidy and clean environment with modern infrastructure. Cashless and contactless payments everywhere – it really feels like Europe.

🏛️ The architecture is a bit messy with no clear planning, especially for landmarks and old buildings – a shame given their rich heritage.

🗣️ English is spoken everywhere, and all signs are in both Greek and English.

🚫 No flies and few mosquitos, but beware of cockroaches at night and tiny, nearly invisible ants that give very painful bites.

🌊 Crystal clear and super warm water, but the sea is quite barren with few organisms and no living coral reefs – not great for snorkeling.

🍴 Enjoy the Mediterranean kitchen with grilled fish, but you can skip the calamari or octopus – they’re tiny and not well-prepared.

Have you been to Cyprus or planning to go? 🇨🇾✈️
