Nicosia - Post Report Question and Answers

Would someone with physical disabilities have difficulties living in this city?

Yes. While in principle complying with EU standards, there are some big exceptions. Big chunks of side walk are often just gone because of construction. Some newer buildings have ramps, but most do not. Multistory buildings may not have elevators. - Aug 2022


Yes. There aren't many sidewalks. - Aug 2022


Mobility and assistance--few places would be accessible, although in Nicosia it would be easier. Few people are willing to assist you when needed. - Jul 2013


Very inpatient people and very little space to get around, even with a stroller. - Jun 2011


Lots. In most of Nicosia, there are simply no sidewalks. When there is a sidewalk, people will often park their car on it. There are some handicapped parking spaces, but they'll often be used by non-handicapped people. - Dec 2009


A lot. - May 2008
