Best places to live in Cyprus
Nicosia
Limassol District
Limassol villages
Larnaca
Paphos
Peyia and Tala
Ayia Napa and Protaras
Paralimni
Nicosia
Divided in two by the Green Line, Nicosia is a vibrant and quite sophisticated city that offers a perfect blend of urban life and relaxation.
Nicosia lies inland; therefore, it can get hotter than the seaside in summer. However, the bliss of it is that as a consequence tourists don’t think much of the place, instead preferring the seaside resorts and towns. This not only keeps the place from becoming overcrowded but helps to preserve a true Cypriot feel and character of the place.
Tumblr media
Nicosia is the business and financial centre of the Republic of Cyprus, as well as the administrative heart. The city offers great entertainment, vibrant nightlife, excellent shopping and a choice of leisure activities.
Although the main language is Greek, you will find that around 90 percent of the population speak some English, and fluency is common amongst the younger generations.
Cyprus might be the third biggest Mediterranean island, but it’s not really huge. And when you live in Nicosia, everything is no more than an hour away by car, be it wonderful beaches, gorgeous mountains, hiking trails or historic sights.
As in any city, there are enough districts and types of property to choose from in Nicosia. The choice depends on whether you want to live in an apartment or a modern villa, in the quiet outskirts or in a luxurious part of the city near all the major embassies where the properties are superb, both in style and price.
Living in the south-east, for example, gives you easy access to Athalassa National Forest Park, which is 840 hectares of greenery. Its network of trails – covering 20 kilometres – makes it a popular place for cycling, walking, dog walking and picnics.
As to what you can consider drawbacks, the summers are very hot in Nicosia, hotter than in the seaside locations. There’s also the issue of a very unreliable public transportation system; as a result almost everyone over 21 owns a car.
In short, Nicosia is one of the best places to live in the Republic of Cyprus: diverse cuisines, cultures, rich history, great nightlife, almost the best weather possible, great nature and sightseeings and all the amenities you need for normal day-to-day living. What you won’t find in Nicosia is the seaside.
Limassol District
Limassol, a city on the southern coast of Cyprus, has a very modern, cosmopolitan feel to it. It is a loved destination by expats from all over the world.
Tumblr media
The Neapolis area of Limassol is considered the centre of the town, yet is also residential and has all the necessary amenities close to hand. It is close to Anexartisias – the main shopping district of Limassol, and within walking distance of the beach too.
Right in the centre of the city, near the Castle and Limassol Marina, there is a beautiful promenade called Molos, which offers great walks along the beachfront. If you like a seaside stroll, Molos will be your favourite place.
Molos is flanked by busy streets packed with restaurants, cafes, English style pubs, vibrant nightclubs, and a wide range of shops selling almost everything, including souvenirs and traditional sweets and delicacies.
Not a big fan of city beaches and prefer something more intimate? There are beautiful beaches 15 minutes drive away from the city, such as Kourion Beach.
This particular beach is located under the ancient city of Kourion where you can visit the ancient site and also attend evening performances at the ancient theatre.
Limassol is also the city with the highest mountain peak on the island, Troodos (Olympus). During the winter between January and April, you can go skiing. The Cyprus Ski Club, based on Mount Olympus, has four ski lifts and eight alpine ski runs of various levels.
The city is perfect for supporting an active healthy lifestyle. It offers limitless possibilities for all kinds of sports and activities including golf, go-karting, skiing, cycling and horse riding. There are beautiful walking trails and an abundance of nature trails. Bicycles are available on rent all over the place and are an ideal way of exploring the city and its interior.
Limassol villages
Just 12 minutes drive from Limassol there is the lovely village of Erimi. It takes you just far enough from the hustle and bustle of Limassol to give you a nice relaxing atmosphere but is still close enough to the city for you to still use its facilities.
Tumblr media
The same feeling of tranquillity can be found in the village of Kolossi on the outskirts of the city of Limassol. The village is close to the imposing Kolossi Castle, which dates back to the 13th century. The vineyards of Kolossi are famous for the sweet dessert wine of Commandaria, which is one of the oldest wines in the world.
Some 8 miles from Limassol on the Limassol-Troodos road is the pretty village of Alassa. The village is built next to the Kouris Dam. A few minutes drive away is Episcopi – a village lying partly in the Limassol district of Cyprus and partly in the British Overseas Territory of Akrotiri and Dhekelia.
There is a good supermarket, doctor, police station etc. It has quite a few expats but is not very touristy.
Larnaca
Larnaca is compact, easily accessible and offers easy access to other regions on the island.
Larnaca is where Cyprus adventures start for most new arrivals, as it is where the most popular Cyprus airport is located.
Tumblr media
Phinikoudes is a very pretty town and is particularly pleasant for a stroll in the evening. There is a long beach alongside the Phinikoudes promenade, the waters there are always calm and quite shallow, so you have to wade for quite a distance before it is swimmable.
The Makenzie stretch is more remote, easily accessible by car and has many fish restaurants lining the strip. It’s full of bars and cafés, where locals and expat freelancers come together to co-work. However, it’s very close to the airport, and although spending a day out there is fine, living there constantly means putting up with noise and pollution.
The prevalent communities in Larnaca are Greek, British, Russians and Germans and they mostly use English as means of international communication. However, move away from the expat communities towards outlying villages, and a bit of Greek will come really handy if you want to integrate and build local friendships.
The town offers all the amenities and facilities necessary for a comfortable life, but as with any tourist place, it gets very quiet in winter and really crowded in summer.
In general, Larnaca is more relaxed, easy-going and comfortable, and a bit cheaper compared to Limassol or Nicosia. You get the beach and the places for cycling, and it is only a 30 minutes drive from both Limassol and Nicosia. The intercity bus will take you to the capital if you don’t like driving, however public transport is not very reliable in Cyprus, so you might want to consider a car.
There are a few lovely villages on the outskirts of Larnaca. Oroklini is just outside the town and very popular with Brits. The village stretches from Larnaca Bay up to Oroklini hill and has a nice sandy beach.
It takes 10 minutes to get from Oroklini to central Larnaca. The Larnaca-Ayia Napa motorway runs through the outskirts of Oroklini and leads onto the Larnaca-Nicosia motorway.
Paphos
Paphos is a lovely coastal city in the southwest of Cyprus and, as legends say, the birthplace of Aphrodite.
The town has good infrastructure and amenities – from shopping malls and shops to modern hospitals and decent road connections. Paphos International Airport is just 15 minutes drive from the town centre and a modern highway links the Paphos district to the whole of Cyprus.
Tumblr media
The great thing about Paphos District is that you’ve got the sea and great beaches with hills, forests and mountains inland. The Akamas is a delight if you like the unspoilt countryside.
Paphos city is a popular tourist resort. It is also famous for its charming fishing harbour. The main residential district in Paphos is Ktima.
Kato Paphos, built by the sea around the medieval port, is where most of the luxury hotels and the entertainment infrastructure of the city is located.
There’s a lot going on in Paphos itself to sustain life there. It’s also only 45 minutes along the motorway to Limassol.
Peyia and Tala
Paphos district has quite a few lovely towns and villages dotted around. Lots of Brits live there, especially in places like Peyia and Tala. That means no language problems. If you venture further into the hills, a few words of Greek will be very helpful to get by.
Peyia and Tala are very popular for full time living among expats. There are plenty of restaurants and tavernas in both places, and they are close to Coral Bay.
Peyia is a bit overbuilt. The nice areas of Peyia can mostly be found on the outskirts. It’s also quite a drive to Paphos. Tala is closer to Paphos but has fewer facilities.
If you want to be fairly close to town and live somewhere within walking distance to a decent supermarket, pharmacy, doctor, butcher etc., Chloraka is possibly a good place to consider as it is just 3 km north of Paphos.
Ayia Napa and Protaras
In the eastern part of Cyprus, just south of Famagusta, lies the lively and vibrant town of Ayia Napa. It is a favourite international seaside resort with all the paraphernalia and amenities that come with that. It is crowded, dynamic, loud, full of entertainment and typical tourist activities such as water-skiing, windsurfing, canoeing, scuba diving and speed boating.
Ayia Napa has 14 beaches, and all of them have been awarded the Blue Flag status.
Nissi, a beach on Nissi Avenue, gets really crowded in summer; it has a fantastic beach bar, which plays music throughout the day and offers events such as foam parties and games if that’s what you’re looking for!
Tumblr media
If you want to be close enough to Ayia Napa to enjoy the life it offers, but still be far away enough to be able to have relaxing moments, you might want to look at Protaras.
About 5 miles away from Ayia Napa, Protaras, although being rapidly developed, still manages to remain low-key, and is preferred by locals and expats for its more family-friendly feel. It is still touristy and gets very busy in summer, while the winters are usually quiet and the place looks a bit deserted.
Paralimni
If the seasonal hustle and bustle of both Ayia Napa and Protaras are too much for you, but you still want to be close enough to both places, then probably the best solution will be to look at Paralimni.
Paralimni is close enough to both Ayia Napa and Protaras but is not attractive to tourists. It is a nice residential town with modern houses being built on the outskirts. There is a shopping centre, a number of cafes and bars and supermarkets there – all the amenities you need to live comfortably without paying over the top, as one commonly does in tourist towns.

Unveiling the History of Akamas National Park
From its humble beginnings in 1962, the Akamas Peninsula has been transformed from an abandoned limestone quarry into a vast national park. In this blog post, we will uncover the history of Akamas National Park and reveal why this national park is so important to Cyprus.
Tumblr media
The history of Akamas National Park.
Located between Peyia and Polis Chrysochous, Akamas National Park covers an area of 8.9 km2 (3.5 square miles). The history of Akamas National Park stretches back thousands of years. The archaeological remains found in Akamas National Park indicate that people lived in the area from 7000 BC to 2000 BC. During the Bronze Age, Akamas were the most important settlement in western Cyprus. During the Christian period, Akamas became known for its monasteries, which were built in the 12th century. A monastery dedicated to St. John the Evangelist was located here. Two important pilgrimages occurred in the area during the 14th century. The pilgrimage of St. John the Evangelist and the Great Lent pilgrimage took place in the area. Akamas National Park was designated as a National Park in 1983.
The natural beauty of Akamas National Park.
The area of Akamas National Park is rich with natural beauty. The landscape is mostly untouched by humans, leaving many plants and animals to flourish. The National Park is known for its wide variety of fauna, such as the Loggerhead sea turtle and the endangered Mediterranean Monk seal. The National Park has a wide variety of flora and fauna that can be viewed by visitors. It is one of the few locations where you can watch wild goats and donkeys. The Monk seal population is thriving and can be seen swimming in the waters. There are hundreds of species of birds that reside in the park. The National Park also is home to many of the endangered plant species. There are over 300 different species of wildflowers in the Akamas area. Many of the plants in the area are so unique that they are protected by the European Union.
Tumblr media
The incredible biodiversity of Akamas National Park.
Akamas National Park is one of the most biodiverse national parks in Cyprus. It is home to a variety of plant and animal species that are not found anywhere else on the island. The park is also a great place to see eagles, gazelles, ibexes, and a variety of other wildlife. It is also home to the Akamas Lion Sanctuary, which is the only place in Cyprus where lions are kept in captivity. The park is an excellent place to explore if you are looking for a diverse and unique environment. It is also a great place to relax and get in some hiking or bird-watching. If you're looking for a UNESCO World Heritage Site that is well-preserved, Akamas National Park is a great option.
The incredible variety of wildlife in Akamas National Park.
This National Park is home to an incredible variety of wildlife. The rich geological history of Cyprus combined with the unspoiled wilderness of this National Park, has allowed this ecosystem to develop and flourish. Akamas National Park is an ancient landscape. This park covers more than 125 square km, which is almost 50% of the total surface of Cyprus. This huge area offers multiple habitats and ecosystems, including forests, wetlands, scrubland, rocky shores, sea cliffs, and sandy beaches. These ecosystems are home to 300 species of plants, 250 native and non-native species of birds, 36 species of mammals, and 5 species of reptiles. This ecosystem is rich, not only in terms of its biodiversity, but also in significance and history. Cyprus has a long history. The remains of early civilizations like Neolithic and Phoenician settlements, as well as the Roman and Byzantine cities, can be found on the coast of the island. The geography of the region, however, makes it perfect for keeping the history of these civilizations secret. The steep cliffs along the coast make it difficult for ships to approach the shore, protecting these ancient settlements and making them difficult to spot.
Tumblr media
The incredible biodiversity of the plants in Akamas National Park.
Found in Paphos District, some 40 kilometres from Limassol, the Akamas National Park is surrounded by Chrysochous Bay, which serves as a natural shelter for marine mammals and birds. The park contains a wide diversity of plant and bird species, and its natural beauty, which includes its wide variety of flora and fauna, has earned it the title of one of Greece's most valuable natural areas. The flora of the Akamas National Park reaches all the Mediterranean climate zones, from subtropical to Mediterranean, and includes 250 plant species, 40 of which are endemic. Among the park's most famous plants is the Mediterranean Cypress and the rich collection of orchids. The fauna of the Akamas National Park includes 127 species of birds, 21 species of reptiles, 9 species of amphibians, 9 species of mammals and 4 species of fish. The endemic species include the Mediterranean Monk Seal, Eleonora's Falcon, the Lesser Kestrel and the Cyprus Wheatear.
