<p>Si bien aún persisten actitudes conservadoras, Chipre es en general un lugar seguro para los viajeros homosexuales. La aceptación pública ha crecido rápidamente, ayudada por las leyes contra la discriminación LGBTQ. Las muestras públicas de afecto entre parejas del mismo sexo pueden atraer miradas en las zonas rurales, pero en las ciudades y lugares turísticos las actitudes son más progresistas.</p>

¿Es Chipre seguro para los viajeros homosexuales?

<h2 class="whitespace-pre-wrap">Playas gay-friendly en Chipre</h2>
<p class="whitespace-pre-wrap">Aunque no existen playas oficiales gay en Chipre, han surgido varios lugares "no oficiales" amigables con los homosexuales, principalmente en Ayia Napa. La apartada playa de Kermia es una de las ubicaciones favoritas, mientras que la zona gay de Governor's Beach, cerca de Limassol, ofrece más privacidad. La playa naturista de Pissouri y la parte gay de la playa de Larnaca también atienden a los bañistas LGBTQ.</p>
<h2 class="whitespace-pre-wrap">Orgullo gay en Chipre</h2>
<p class="whitespace-pre-wrap">Nicosia acoge el desfile y festival anual del Orgullo Gay de Chipre cada junio/julio, organizado por Accept LGBT Chipre. Este vibrante evento ha crecido rápidamente desde sus inicios en 2014, con un enorme apoyo local. Es un momento destacado del año para la comunidad LGBTQ de Chipre.</p>
