Cyprus · community hub: Larnaca Finikoudes / Limassol seafront · airport LCA, about 15 min by car. Everything below was checked against the sources on each listing in November 2026; confirm times with the shul before you rely on them.
No eruv found online as of Nov 2026: none is mentioned on any Chabad Cyprus page read (Shabbat services, tourist, hotel, Shabbat-meal pages and meal forms, 1-2 Nov 2026), and a further web search on 2 Nov 2026 found no eruv or status page for Larnaca, Limassol, Nicosia, Paphos or Ayia Napa. Treat Larnaca, Limassol and the beaches as no-carry on Shabbat (no keys, wallets or tickets outside) unless Chabad confirms otherwise.

Minyan: Times: call. No service times are published (Chabad page checked 2 Nov 2026; it has 'Join us for Shabbat meals' and 'Shabbat take away and delivery' links with no details). The address differs between the Chabad page (Lapithou 11), Google (Lapithou 16-102) and the Rabbinate (10 Mystra St), and one Google reviewer found nothing at the pin and got no answer by phone, so call or WhatsApp before travelling. Chabad's own walking times to its hotels (Hilton about 15 min, Asty about 25 min) fit the Lapithou pin (about 0.9 km and 1.6 km straight-line) better than Mystra 10 (0.5 km and 0.9 km), so Lapithou looks right (our distance check, not a Chabad statement). Chabad lists Hilton Nicosia ('ideal for Shabbat') and Asty Hotel; Europa Plaza is a 5-minute drive.

Google reviewers describe a meat restaurant inside ('Mush') and a dairy pizza place outside ('Jew Pizza'), plus a small grocery. Shabbat meals are booked through the Ayia Napa link (app.flowiz.io/ayir/f/) on the Chabad Cyprus 'Join us for Shabbat meals' page; no prices found. Google's restaurant listing shows Fri and Sat closed, so Shabbat food is by registration only. Caution: a Google review (undated) on the 'Kosher pizza napa' listing at this address says the pizza place and two other restaurants no longer exist and a new restaurant with no menu has opened there; the Rabbinate list (read 2 Nov 2026) still names Mosh (Mehadrin), Pizza Jo (Mehadrin) and King David in Ayia Napa, probably the same kitchens (spellings differ). Call before relying on the restaurants.
