Cyprus, located in the Eastern Mediterranean, is known for its beautiful beaches, ancient ruins, and diverse history. The island is politically divided, with the north being predominantly Muslim and the south mainly Greek Orthodox. Both regions are relatively tolerant, making Cyprus a generally Muslim-friendly destination. Muslim-friendly areas include:
- Nicosia (Lefkoşa in the north)
- Famagusta (Gazimağusa)
- Kyrenia (Girne)
- Paphos
Finding halal food in Cyprus is more straightforward in the northern part due to its Muslim majority. In the southern part, halal options are available, particularly in larger cities and tourist areas like Paphos. Some of the cities where halal food is readily available include:
- Nicosia
- Famagusta
- Kyrenia
- Paphos
