Cyprus is a great place to live, both for families and retirees. The island is renowned for its fabulous beaches, but it also draws people from all over the world with its stunning mountains and little valleys full of vineyards, orange orchards and olive groves.
Living in Cyprus can bring many lifestyle and financial advantages. Life, in general, is more relaxed and there are more opportunities to spend time outdoors. The cost of living in Cyprus is generally lower, taxes are more lenient and the property prices are generally cheaper than in the UK.
The lifestyle is typically Mediterranean with its slow laidback pace and “enjoy the moment” attitude. Fruit, veg, fish and various seafood can be bought fresh all year round. Colourful and inexpensive fruit and veg markets are dotted everywhere.
The island enjoys the warmest climate in the European Union, with some 320 days of sunshine per year. Cyprus is also ranked among the regions with the healthiest climate worldwide.
