Romanians in Portugal, Greece, Cyprus and Malta: sun, sea and missing home
25 September 2026 · 4 min read
From Lisbon to Athens, Limassol and Valletta, Romanians have settled in southern Europe. How to find someone who understands your homesickness, even in the sun.
Southern Europe has both old and new Romanian communities. In Greece and Cyprus, many Romanians arrived back in the 1990s and 2000s; in Portugal and Malta, communities have grown with tourism, tech and remote work. You'll find them in Lisbon, Porto, Athens, Thessaloniki, Nicosia, Limassol and Valletta.
A beautiful life, but not always an easy one
Sun and sea are no substitute for people close to you. Many Romanians in the south work long seasons with busy schedules and have little time to meet anyone — let alone someone to talk to in Romanian about home.
