What We ACTUALLY Thought About Cyprus (same as Greece?)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 чер 2024
- In today's episode, we bring you along on the second half of our Cyprus trip where we explore some beautiful nature spots on both the west and east ends of the island🇨🇾 We also eat some delicious Cypriot food😍
While South Cyprus feels similar to Greece in many ways, there is such a huge mix of other cultural and culinary influences here that it's a very different experience. The food is like a mix between the Middle East and Greece, and even the nature is different in many ways (but the water is just as beautiful and blue!).
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 UA-cam About page for more details👨🏼🤝👨🏻❤️

You guys are the best❤ Thank you for all your support through everything! We wanted to give a bit of a snapshot in this video about how we're feeling at this point in our 100-country journey. It's in the middle of the video if you wanna see that! Sending lots of love to all of you❤
Right back at ya! Stay safe, have a speedy recovery from your tonsillectomy and Happy Thanksgiving to both of you!
I’m pretty sure it didn’t take much but you’ve convinced me that Cyprus needs to be at the top of my bucket list now! The views, the churches, the trails, and the food! I’m in love and you’re totally right, it felt very much like mainland Greece! I hope everything goes well with your surgery, Dan! Travel safe friends!
Oh guys I am so glad that you loved Cyprus. Cyprus has been my home for 22 years and I will never leave. Come back soon.
You live in paphos?
I genuinely hope you loved spending time in the beautiful island of Cyprus. The so called "northern" part of Cyprus has been under illegal occupation following Turkey's illegal invasion in 1974. To this day, northern Cyprus is a de facto state recognised ONLY by Turkey, by virtue of it being illegal. People were killed, raped, forced out of their houses and became refugees inside of their own country. I therefore ask kindly, out of respect for the tragic events of 1974, and the ongoing mental struggle of living in a divided, partly occupied *European Union* country, to consider NOT visiting the illegally occupied part of the island. Thank you for considering
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
It's gonna stay like that forever & everyone knows it what can we do re kumbare 😂
Great vlog about Cyprus. I left Cyprus when I was 15, traveled and lived in many parts of the world. ( no not 100)! Now, contemplating to come full circle back to Cyprus to live there. Your vlog probably will validate my decision. Many thanks
You guys definitely should go back as there are many other places to visit on the island
Thanks for another great video. Totally understand travel fatigue! Next year, maybe do Oskar & Dan's Top 10 New Favorites where you spend a week or more in just one city/region so you can experience a deeper dive at a pace that's similar to how most people travel.
Thanks for the upload guys just want to say your vlogs makes my day and enjoy seeing you both travel around. Thank you for taking us along.
Another fantastic video showing off what looks like a lovely country can’t wait for round 2
All the best with the operation Dan! Definitely want to visit Cyprus now, looks stunning - and the food (omg!) 😍
Here’s to the three last countries!!
This place looks so pretty! Can't wait to see where you go next!
Arrived to Cyprus today, searched what to do on youtube, and see your video. I shopped at that Lidl an hour ago.
Oskar and Dan, PLEASE keep making content! Your videos are one of the highlights of my week! You both are so talented in front of the camera and really bring the subject matter to life. I would watch whatever you did (for example, I hate flying but watch all of NonStop Dan's videos, just because he does such an amazing job of making the subject interesting)
🙏❤️
All the best with the surgery. Take care and get well soon to share more travels ♥️
As always a lovely report. All the best Dan for your tonsillectomy. I trust that you will soon be back to full strength.
I was in Cyprus septembre 22 as solo F traveler. Thx for your video! It brought me back to that lovely country! Loooved the Herb garden restaurant and the private boat tour i took on cristal bleu water near Polis, Paphos with its lovely promenade and archeology site, the beautiful aphrodite beach!!! North Nicosia was special with the turkish border. Larnaca and Limassol are great to visit also. Even learned To mâle halloumi cheeze 😋Good luck for your operation! Enjoy your visit of your 100th country. Slow travelling is cool too 😉
Yes, your adventures are so adventurous, but your dialogue and production are also fantastic! ❤❤
Cyprus looks beautiful. Thanks for showing some of it dear Oskar and Dan. Will be thinking of you dear Dan when you have the op and hoping there is some delicious ice-cream after. I believe you're allowed to have that. No doubt Oskar will tempt you will different flavours! Best always, David
Thanks for keeping it real guys. Love you’re honesty and your spirit. You truly enjoy each others company and it is so refreshing. Much love from the United States❤️
Thanks William🙏
so nice to see your cyprus adventures. :-) good luck! :)
Dear Boys,I'm SO happy you enjoyed Cyprus so much,though its been a few years since I used to visit regularly, its still a favourite destination AND you neither made it up into or even mentioned the mountains. Where at right time of year you can ski in morning & beach/swim in afternoon!
It is truly a jewel of a place,such a shame about the political situation, that still cuts the island in two,having been up along the boarder,you didn't miss much,because the military reminder of the past,takes away from the pleasure of where one is able to go with ompunity.
Again loving the impromptu ABBA extras,thanks.
Dan,good luck with your operation,but,am sure you'll have a very sweet nurse to look after you?
Such a pleasure, vicariously living through you both,as ever. Take good care;safe journeys & see you soon💥👊❤💯💙💙👌👏👏👏👋⭐'s💯✌
Another nice vlog! Dan, I hope all goes well with your surgery. Oskar, thanks for talking about the awesome 100 country journey. I was wondering what’s the next goal or journey. Btw, it was cool seeing your different hairstyles over the years in your previous vlogs 😊.
Been watching you guys early on! Love you guys and your humor!!😊♥️ Wishing you all the best. It's Thanksgiving here in the US- thankful for everything including the vids you put out.
Aaw, thank you so much! We're thankful for your comment😍
Awesome job you guys.😊
Amazing video guys
The song playing on the radio when you were parking up at Lidl is actually sang by a famous Greek singer, Tolis Voskopoulos, he passed recently.
Oh you said "or greek" totally missed that 😋
great job guys!
I was also in Polis. It seemed a lot more relaxed there than in Paphos.😎
Hope you come back to Cyprus :) 🇨🇾🇨🇾
The only difference between Greece and Cyprus is the side of the road on which they drive. There used to be another difference, namely the currency, but nowadays, both countries use the euro.
The house I stayed in this year in Cyprus was around 5-10 minutes drive from Aphrodite's Baths, we had the same issue not able to drive round the peninsula and we didn't get to Nicosia and the North on this trip....it's almost the same trip, except none of us could quite sing "Honey Honey" in Dan's unique style 😉🤣
Hahaha😂 Wow, what a coincidence!
Greece, Lebanon and Cyprus are among my favorite destinations in Europe. They are beautiful and feel very mystical. They have great food, culture and weather.
Lebanon is not in Europe, However.
@@rogerdodger8813 well basically not even Cyprus
@@zaddyzain9602 but in the EU!
@@rogerdodger8813 yeah
@@zaddyzain9602 Cyprus is a southern European island
That is a wonderful real-life review, almost like a promotion of my home country. I had the pleasure to meet you guys on the way back from your beautiful drive from Polis at the most random viewpoint stop (yep, I was that overly enthusiastic subscriber). I realize you didn't take any video material from it but that's okay 😂
I'm glad you enjoyed the island and I hope to see you guys again!
Aah hey! So great running into you, thank you for the photo and hope you all got down safely on those overpriced ATVs😉
Thanks!
After traveling and living in hotels the last 2 years I completely understand your point of view, I love traveling but I need a base right now. Love your videos
It's so needed😔 Thank you🙏
What a beautiful country!
Greetings guys I like your videos I started to watch them from the video recorded in El Salvador I hope you return to El Salvador soon and share your experience again and get to know more new places in that beautiful country🇸🇻👏
Beautiful island
great video! small caution about the north of cyprus, it is not recognized internationally and is considered occupied/invaded land, sort of like how crimea is not recognized to be part of russia internationally (nor should it be). of course that is not necessary a reason not to go, just important to have the context that both the north and south of the island had both majority greek and turkish majority populations mixed throughout until Turkey invaded it
on your next trip you should visit Limassol as well!
Tonsillectomy???? Yikes!!! Love this video and love you guys.
You visited great places here but next time you visit us go to the "faragi tou avaka" (avakas gorge) in paphos
It's beautiful. Just to inform you guys you'll need extra shoes and clothes when you visit it and also lots of water
You guys should have checked out meraki! It’s a gorgeous vegan restaurant in Paphos!
We have been in the same Lidl ;) ;) ;)
what resort did you stay at when you first arrive in Cyprus? I am planning a trip there in few months.
Parklane Limassol!
You guys are the best and good luck with your surgery, Dan! I would like you to visit my country Ukraine after 99 countries, I know it's dangerous, but worth it, we have one of the best foods in the world.
My top tips for when you get 100th country 1. Have a vegan party with a 100 cake 2. Make a list of 5 favourite countries 3. Choose some places/experiences you’d like to do again or perhaps with more time you would have done before. I had to laugh Dan when you said Lidl reminded you of Sweden ha ha You must come to the west of England and tell me if my Lidl reminds you of Sweden ha ha 😂
And there we have it again; THE vegantreats! My mouth.......and I`m being like Homer 😂
Just love Cyprus, I`ve been there 15 times already and it`s still wants me to come back.
Where have you got left to hit in Europe? Love your content 😁
Sorry for the late response! Just Belarus, Ukraine, and Russia... Sooo...😅
Oskar got the vocals 😂😂
😂😂 Thanks!
At the right time of year you would have seen loads of flamingoes at the salt lake
Warsaw is a Paradise for vegans. Most people are surprised how many options there are and how good it is. Can’t wait for you to go there. Is it in your plans?
OMG YOU PAST MY UNCLES AT COOL DIVERS AN MY MOM RESTORAUND ISLAND
#TurkishCypriotRights✌️
People tell me that Greece is prettier than Cyprus . The thing I thought was the best in Cyprus was the ancient historical buildings that Australia doesn’t have . I live in Australia by the way . Troodos is lovely and and so is the nature near Paphos and also the coast between Limassol and Paphos . It dies have it’s beautiful vistas but the locals and my relatives don’t like us Cypriot people who were born in another country . They were so rude and I was t welcomed there . I was shocked to see how lovely they are to the tourists but not nice to us relatives . I am glad you enjoyed it though . We have heaps or gorgeous nature in Australia and is vast . I will stick to visiting them . I never returned to Cyprus. Sad isn’t it !
I visited Cyprus in 95 and met an aspiring model.
Wow -- it seems like a vegan heaven!!
Oskar and Dan love you guys. Seems Cyprus is good for veggies/vegans?!
Yes in general there are a lot of options!
Guys still on the island? I live here… need a local guide… I would be super happy to help!❤
No longer there but thank you🙏
Hi Oscar & Dan. Thanks for the beautiful video. It 's just - I wished that you, Dan, did not have to have your tonsils extracted. It's dangerous. They took children' s tonsils out when I was a child. That may have been the time when Northern and Southern Cyprus were at war. Since then, many things have changed and one would hope that today, there would be adequate medication to cure your tonsils without surgery. Love to both of you from Bochum, Germany.
gorgeous. I would love to check it out. Maybe some day. Better hurry cause I'm 65. LOL.
Well you are in Greece my friend. Cyprus is a Greek island. Welcome 🇬🇷 :)
Cyprus was a Greek Island before the Turkish invasion and illegal occupation.
Note: During the second phase, Turkey took the city of Famagusta, under its control and illegally occupies over 36% of the territory of the Republic of Cyprus ever since. As a result of the Turkish military invasion and occupation, 162,000 Greek-Cypriots fled their homes becoming refugees in their own country.
Note 2: In 1983, a Turkish-controlled area located on the northern section of the island declared its independence, calling itself the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC). Turkey has been the only country in the world to recognize the TRNC, however.
There are native Turks in Greece
No, Cyprus was under British control and then an independent country with Greek and Turkish people, in 1974 die Greek junta in Athens tried to conquer Cyprus and failed.
no it wasn't, it was part of the British empire and before that , Ottoman.
Cyprus is still Greek
@@lunallenagr no , Cyprus is Cyprus like Austria is Austria and not German.
Would be nice to mention that the north is occupied
Are you guys a couple?
Isn't it pronounced `lie-dulls' ? Thought I'd be the pronunciation police today.
You guys are dope and have been so into your trips, but I can see some burn out and you are tierd and wore out! Trust me I love your vlogs and don't want them to ever stop, but take care of yourselves will ya!?
Thank you🙏 We will take lots of time to rest up once we get a chance!
Dan-good luck with your surgery. That's a tough one as an adult (I don't know why it's easier when you're a kid). You two are way too young to remember when Cyprus was one of the most violent and contested places on the planet-the Greek vs the Turkish populations. It was always in the news until an uneasy truce was hammered out. I know, it was a long time ago, but I can still remember it (yeah, I'm old enough to be your elderly father). The island is beautiful; its history not so much.
History of Cyprus was nice until 1974 when turkey decided to invade destroying the lives and killing thousands of innocent people just to satisfy its imperialism like turkey did in so many other countries near it (Greece, Armenia, Syria etc.) and still does. Its time for the world to know the truth and cancel this country out which has nothing to do with peace and unity.
Come to pakistan
Hi guys! When you come to North Cyprus, come to my town Girne/Kyrenia with its crescent-shaped harbour and the seven fingers of the Kyrenia hills. Nearby are lots of historic sites. Living is inexpensive.
There is no reason for them to come to an occupied area under these conditions where turkey committed crimes against humanity
Same Greek nation but different country
sorry Dan i got my tongsil removed... and i got fatter...
Cypurs is a Greek nation island with pure Greek histrory.
it’s called occupied Cyprus 🇨🇾
there are two sides of cyprus north and south
Cyprus is one. Its not two parts because Turkey decided one day to invade an island killing thousands of people including children. Some people are still missing and some others were tortured before getting killed. Learn the truth about turkey and the crimes it committed against humanity and cancel this country out
NORTH CYPRUS TURKS TURKİSH 🇹🇷🤘✌️
Cyprus is all Greek 🇬🇷
@@grecopaok I don't have time to argue with you, the truth is bitter.
@@Alex.6688. imagine liking your own comments 😂
@@Alex.6688. probably because ur the only one that lives in that little dream of yours
Cyprus is an easy friendly place, which is making you feel comfortable . Super safe, no crime, EU country, 20% of population foreigners of all kind. From British retirees too thousans of african and asian refugees. He who comes to cyprus never leaves
It's all "the Greek side" any one that tells you different is probably Turkish.
