Our First Impressions Of Cyprus🇨🇾 (we're in love)
In today's episode, we bring you on our first two days in the incredibly interesting country of Cyprus, an island split between three (or four, if you count the UN) powers and with a complicated history. (The three powers are the Republic of Cyprus (Greek), Turkey, and the UK.)
These days, it's a popular beach destination for us Europeans, and it was definitely about time we went there!
On this trip, we would only explore the southern Greek part. In the future, we'll hopefully be able to visit Northern Cyprus too (controlled and recognized only by Turkey).
We are Oskar & Dan, two boys from Sweden who decided to change the course of our lives, drop out of university, and live life full-time. We're trying to see and learn as much about the world as possible while we're young. Right now, we are working to visit 100 countries before the end of 2022🌍 Check our KZread About page for more details👨🏼🤝👨🏻❤️

WOW! SO happy you visited my country! I am half Cypriot/half English. Grew up in England and decided to move over to Cyprus 2 years ago. I use to come to Cyprus every summer to visit family but never appreciated the true beauty the island has to offer until i moved over here. If you visit again, you HAVE to stay at Casale Panayiotis in Troodos Mountains. Love your videos!!!

Everyone please visit Cyprus. They have so much to offer, the food, the weather, the beaches, the culture. So much more!
I hope you both had a lovely time visiting Cyprus :) Just to clarify there`s no Greek or Turkish sides, there`s only one Cyprus which belongs to Cypriots :)

This video was amazing! Your exploration of Cyprus truly captured the island’s beauty and charm. The stunning landscapes, rich history, and vibrant culture were all beautifully showcased. Your passion for travel is so inspiring, and your storytelling made me feel like I was right there with you. Can't wait to see where your next adventure takes you! Keep up the fantastic work!
Love to have you back again guys. Hope you enjoyed it!!!

Friends! I grew up in Greece and Canada but sadly, I've never visited Cyprus (it's been on my bucket list for a while)! It looks so nice and I'm so happy you're enjoying the food! I visited Greece back in October 2019 and it truly is the best time to go! The weather is sublime, the water is still warm, and most of the tourists are gone at that point. I hope you continue to have a good time and please keep sharing the yummy vegan food you're finding!

This video is again very interesting. I always enjoy watching your videos. Please, take good care of yourselves. Don't take any chances, not even of catching a cold for the sake of beauty. Beauty is only skin deep. Looking forward to your next video. Please, take really good care of yourselves.
Hey Boys,thank you for that - especially the ABBA sample - wonderful taste of Cyprus. The only thing that hasn't changed is Petra tou Romiou,which I've snorkled around and am definitely thinking either it was the wrong rock or I've angered the Gods😅😅😅; that was 40/5yrs ago,though I've not had to resort to both,so maybe it was worth it😉. Everything looks far more glamorous than when I used to go,off & on for 5 years,but,the people were super friendly and as you'll have found you can drive from one end of island to other in less than a day. It looks like there's a part 2,so maybe you'll have gotten up into the Troodos Mountains? I'm not a skier,but,on one trip the people I was with arranged to ski in the morning & swim in the sea in the afternoon!,it was awesome. I only read you like a response to longer or shorter blogs & for me it doesn't matter just so long as you're doing what you both do SO well. As usual it's not just the journey, but,the pleasure of you two,enjoying it together. As ever looking forward to next time,safe journeys & very best wishes to you&yours❤💯💥👊👏👏👏💙💙👌👋⭐'s💯✌

As I watch you near your goal, I have stopped to extoll you to memorialize your experiences and locations in book form. I'd love to see a collection that illustrates the best/worst, opinions of differing cultures, observations of note, hints, suggestions, 'must-do's,' etc. This info could happen across several types of media. I'm telling you, when I go to the Barnes and Noble near where I live, I would grab anything you two published in book form. I've got a coffee table in front of me that would look great with your book sitting on it!

Country 97!!! Awesome. Did you make 100 yet? I am getting close to 50, and we have 126 more scheduled over the next few years. We loved Cyprus. Also, have you ever taken a day trip to Jerash in Jordan? It is really awesome. Our first Cyprus vlog just came out today. We will have four vlogs on the history, culture and food of Greek Cyprus over the next few weeks that I hope you might like. Cheers! - Turtle

It's so cool for me because I'm half Cypriot and half Swedish😆
What's the plan after 100 countries? Go for all of them, prioritize more party destinations or intense hikes while you're young, or just change careers into standup etc.
Looks great guys. I'm sure Venus has given you both eternal internal beauty. Best, David

Nice video but i have few notes. Around 8:53 you said that "50% of the people are retired Brits".. I would say that's not so accurate but its true that Top tourists for Cyprus are British. The reason you saw many older people its because October its a month that older people choose to visit Cyprus. The high season its June-July-August where its more families and younger ages that are visiting Cyprus from all over the world.
I didn't think you'd make 100 countries. So close
I challenge you guys 105 countries by Dec 31st I think you can tackle it 😉
Paphos is literally “Little Britain” , you missed the best parts..mountains and the eastern end of tHe island.

I spent 4 months in Cyprus . The locals were either very friendly or very arrogant. There were some beautiful places . Troodos and Paphos was the most beautiful . The history was quite good but I could not handle the mentality of our relatives. The ones who have inherited land are the most arrogant , greedy people . When I visited Cyprus most if my cousins didn’t care to get to know . This is the main reason I visited Cyrus , to meet my relatives and spend quality time with them . Anyway me and my husband took ourselves places to enjoy ! I won’t ever return back because I was not welcomed there .
for some reason i thought Cyprus official name was Cyprus country 97 for a quick second 😅

No they shouldn't. They should know that North Cyprus is illegally occupied from Turks since their invasion in 1974 and therefore they must not visit. All foreigners should know and don't visit to show their respect to the Cypriots.

Dan loves extreme flying ?From Qatar Airways first class to Ryanair 😮😳 And why didn’t you do both sides Greek&Turkish? Northern Cyprus is still Turkish.
Smells of jet fuel and flowers yummy
Cyprus is only beautiful at the sea ,not far from the sea, there are so many damaged roads, no sidewalks ,people only drive cars ,don't walk ,also there are so many very old cars which pollute the air. There are also many cigarette smokers. This year summer is very hot 40 degree , many people don't even have air conditioner at home ,electricity is very expensive, they don't use solar energy ,so ridiculous. And almost everything is more expensive than some years ago. Overall i am so disappointed...
The difference between Malaga and Paphos as far as (mostly) retirees British, is that Cyprus is super safe country.
The Ottomans defeated the Venetians and conquered Cyprus. All of Cyprus belongs to Turkiye. The British moved the Greeks to the island starting from the 1900s and took the lands of the Turks!!
