Nicosia - Post Report Question and Answers
What are some typical ways to socialize, either with local people or with other expatriates? Are there groups or clubs that you can recommend?
Sure, I had identified a few local groups through mutual contacts and web searches before I got here, and I was able to integrate into them without a problem. The groups around Nicosia were mostly Cypriots, so this was my closest contact with local culture (particularly, the many ways to cook pork). I had some contact with groups based in Paphos, but these skewed largely towards UK expats, so less local flavor. Most groups here have a facebook page with contact info. - Aug 2022
There's an "Americans in Cyprus" facebook group, but I think most embassy personnel tend to stick around other embassy colleagues. - Aug 2022
