Welcome to the forum.
Your best bet would be to try the hotels as they employ a lot of eastern european waiting staff and most of the jobs come with accommodation.

Paphos and larnaca both have healthy tourist industries so lots of hotels. Limassol also has a lot of very high class hotels.
so really its your choice where you go. You can fly into either Larnaca or paphos.
I don't know whether there are any hostels and I don;t think that there are any websites for renting roomsbut there are plenty for apartment rentals.
I would suggest you look at the hotel websites and email them to see if any will offer you work with accommodation. That way you may get a job before you come.
Just google Cyprus hotels.

Veronica has given you some good advice about entering Cyprus hotels in Google. Then email them and ask if they have any work places available. perhaps you could make your CV and email that as well. They may have other Czech personnel who you could share accomodation with.

Also, please be careful - there are some unscrupulous operators who could try to take advantage of a girl on her own. NEVER give up your passport to anyone!!!

Don't panic Olima,
Life in Cyprus is probably less dangerous than in Prague, Paris or London. You just need to be careful of who you are going to share a room with.

There are quite a lot of Eastern Europeans in Larnaca but more hotels in Limassol. At Larnaca Airport you can now get bus transfers to most towns in Cyprus.

Sorry, didnt mean to scare you. Cyprus is actually a very safe place compared with many and there are lots of Eastern European girls working here in the tourist and catering industries. I am sure you would easily make friends here. You just need to be aware of the potential problems that any girl on her own would face if going away from her normal environment and into a foreign country. Get some advice on being streetwise before you leave home.

I thought about this all day so now is good to read yours words... Someone offered me a job in Ayia Napa. Veronica recommended me Paphos or Larnaca. Please What is different there? Maybe you think that I have a stupid question but I´m going to Cyprus just by myself and really appreciate any inforamtion from real life. Last question is: Do I need translated Certificate of my Education If I want apply for a job?(I mean by expert of law it is so expensive!) PS nice to hear that I make a new friends there.
