Gay Holidays in Limassol
Limassol is considered to be one of the most open-minded cities in Cyprus, and one of the places that the Cypriot Gay Pride Parade takes place. The locals are generally very friendly and most of the local businesses, hotels, and beach resorts are known for their all welcome mentality, making them very gay friendly. However, some people can be a little socially conservative, but Cyprus has LGBTQ+ laws put in place to comply with EU requirements. Same-sex activity is legal and there are some anti-discrimination laws, though most gay venues and activities are more discreet. Limassol is good for both couples and singles, as they have a variety of gay nightlife and other places to meet people, but they also have a lot of things for couples to do in terms of relaxation and fun. The best time to visit Cyprus is during the Spring time, which can start as early as February. There is active gay life here but as mentioned earlier, it's more discreet than other cities in Europe.

Carob is a sweet plant that is boiled into a syrup fo rpastelli, the local sweet. It tastes like toffee but with a faint bitter flavour.
