hello. my dad has the opportunity to have an apartment for 4 months throughout the 'winter' in Peyia OR Larnaca outskirts. He is terrified of not being able to fit in and doesnt want to be lonely on his own.
Is there a community 'centre' for UK visitors?
Any other advice would be greatly appreciated.
thanks everyone, Gordon |

| UKCA in Larnaca (which is based on the Dhekalia Road) will make him more than welcome, I am sure. They have branches all over the island. +357 24818228. There is a huge community in Oroklini. |

As per the advice you have been given on other forums you have posted on ~~ he will be fine ~~ Peyia is over run with brits and so are certain area's of Larnaca -- voroklini in particular.
Tell him to stop worrying and get his ticket booked.

Hi there
Peyia is a good choice as there is a large expat community there. It's also close to the unspoilt area of Polis/latchi where I live.
Lots of wintering Brits there - he can try the local church to meet people or just go to Polis sqare (and Peyia) to grab a coffee and just chat with othr locals. Tell him not to be afraid to just go up and talk to people - best way to meet them!
We also run a walking group in winter months - another good way to meet new people.
See the website below for more information on the western part of the island - see the walking page if he'd like to join a walking group...
