Three petrol station owners arrested over arson attacks last summer. The target: a fellow petrol station owner who had failed, even after threatening texts, to raise his prices in accordance with the others. In retaliation, his house and his wife's car were subjected to arson attacks. So, while Cyprus can be violent, tourists are seldom at risk - unless, of course, they're young, male, and hitting on Cypriot blokes' girlfriends. In which case little sympathy due.
