Cyprus

Where is Cyprus? 

Cyprus is an island country located in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea, north of Egypt, east of Greece, south of Turkey, and west of Lebanon and Syria. Its capital and largest city is Nicosia. The total area of Cyprus is approximately 9,251 square kilometers, which is about 3,572 square miles. This size is comparable to the state of Connecticut in the United States. The population of Cyprus is around 920,000. The official name of the country is the Republic of Cyprus.

Why move to Cyprus? 

Cyprus offers a pleasant Mediterranean lifestyle, characterized by its warm weather that is attractive to many, especially those from colder climates. The island is known for its sunny disposition, with mild winters and long, warm summers, making it an ideal location for those who enjoy outdoor activities and a sunny climate.

The Cypriot people are accustomed to international residents and visitors, which has led to English being widely spoken and understood across the island, easing the transition for expatriates and tourists alike. This linguistic accessibility, combined with a good work-life balance and the hospitality of the locals, contributes to a comfortable and welcoming environment for foreigners living or working in Cyprus.

The main cities in Cyprus are Larnaca, Limassol, Nicosia and Paphos, all popular destinations for expats. The country’s position within the EU adds a layer of stability and offers certain financial benefits, further enhancing its appeal as a place to reside.
