Extra caution advised

UK advice says same-sex activity is legal and civil partnerships are recognised in the Republic of Cyprus, but social acceptance varies. This assessment concerns Limassol, not northern Cyprus. Editorial assessment based on country-level government guidance, not a measured port-specific incident rate.

Port crowding index

100 is average. 150 means 50% more ship passenger capacity than this port’s observed hourly average over the past 30 days; 50 means half the average.

Checking ships in port…

Estimate for tracked catalog ships, based on published passenger capacity, not actual passengers ashore. Port areas are approximate circles around published port coordinates. Only positions reported within an hour at 1 knot or less are counted; ships at anchor may be included. Missing AIS reports and untracked ships can understate crowding. Quiet observed hours count toward the average; collection outages do not.
