It all depends on your interests - there are sports bars a plenty down finikoudes (the palm lined sea front) where the ex-pats tend to hang out and drink beer. If that's not your bag, you could pick up one of the lifestyle magazines and see what cultural events are on. Many ex-pats meet up through their kids (and their schools). There are many school events (including charity events) organised through the year which welcome others (especially fund raising events). The Anglican Church (and others) also organise a series of events throughout the year. Another place you could try is the British base at Dhekalia where there are always ex-pats munching fish and chips and shopping on the base - it also organises a series of cultural events throughout the year which attracts the local ex-pat community.

You'll probably bump into many along the seafront between the marina and the fort this weekend and Monday, as it is the Kataklysmos festival this weekend - the place will be packed as it is Laranaca's biggest cultural event.
