Hi!
I just came across your post after discovering this forum and I'm in pretty much the same situation as you! The only difference is I've only been here a matter of weeks but as my office is back in the UK i'm essentially all alone out here save for a few older business colleagues who don't mix socially. I'm 30, originally from Edinburgh in Scotland and am staying in Limassol working on establishing companies for clients in Luxembourg and the UK so for the moment I'm visiting government offices, lawyers and estate agents etc.. during the days then back home for dinner which is making for a rather lonely time.
It's particularly dissapointing as it does indeed seem Limassol is quite "vibrant" for such a small place but like you I've found it rather difficult to meet people so I cannot help but feel like I'm missing out! When I first move to Brussels back in 2001 it was so easy to make new friends as there were so many people in the same situation but here I seem to have drawn ablank!
Anyway, if you, and any other people in a similar situation who read this, would like to meet up for a coffee/drink/meal or whatever feel free to give me a shout anytime!
Look forward to hearing from you.
All the best,
Michael

I live in Limassol, work full time and am in my thirties. Limassol is a great place for going out though I am not making the most of what it has to offer yet! From what I can see a lot of expats are in the Paphos area. I would be pleased to hear from anyone willing to introduce me to the social side of life in Cyprus. Other than going out I also like walking, anything outdoors, the arts, am learning golf, love food etc. etc. Many thanks.
