I guess its a mixed bag AintSkeered...
Limmasol, drivers are a bit mental at night, wouldnt fancy cycling then.
Roads...Limmasol and Larnaca town are a mixed bag, some good , some a bit rough.
Once out of town, the roads are surprisingly better.
Also, i notice they drive like nutters going to, and coming from work. Its like a race track. But during the day, everything seems to settle down.
The people....ive worked there several times over 3 years..i love em. Helpful and friendly. Granted, i'm there to work with the people i'm mixing with, so perhaps naturally they are a little more appreciative and friendly, compared with say, a holidaymaker.
Night life seems a bit threatening toward midnight. Theres a proliferation of Russian run clubs, stripbars etc. I was warned not to venture in...you get into trouble real quick. Taxis must be on the payroll, they work real hard to take you to them.
As a side story, ironically it seems you have 'Ok' roads and mental drivers in Cyprus . Yet in Uruguay, the drivers were very good, almost drive too slow....but the roads were atrocious. And yet i regularly saw roadies while i was there. Must have strong wheels
