What do expats find most challenging?

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

"Expats in Yermasoyia often find the language barrier to be the most challenging aspect of the local culture. While English is widely spoken, many locals prefer to communicate in Greek or Turkish, which can make everyday tasks like shopping or asking for directions more difficult. Another challenge is adjusting to the slower pace of life. The Cypriot lifestyle is much more relaxed and laid-back than what many expats are used to, and this can be frustrating for those who are used to a faster, more efficient pace. Understanding and adapting to local customs and traditions can also be a challenge. For example, Cypriots tend to be very hospitable and it's common for them to invite new acquaintances to their homes for meals. This can be overwhelming for expats who are not used to such openness. Lastly, the bureaucracy in Cyprus can be quite complex and time-consuming. This can be particularly challenging for expats who are trying to navigate things like residency permits, setting up utilities, or dealing with property issues," commented one expat who made the move to Yermasoyia, Cyprus.
