Pros and Cons of Living in Cyprus

"The friendliness and generosity of the people. The culture is very family-oriented and as such, it is a very safe and joyful place to live. The pace of life is more relaxed. As the Greeks say, siga siga (slowly slowly)," explained one expat living in Frenaros.

"Expats in Cyprus appreciate the warm hospitality of the locals, the relaxed Mediterranean lifestyle, and the beautiful scenery of the island. They also enjoy the rich cultural heritage of the country, with its ancient ruins, traditional festivals, and vibrant nightlife. Additionally, the low cost of living and the abundance of outdoor activities make Cyprus an attractive destination for expats," said one expat in Cyprus.

"Expats in Cyprus often find the local culture to be quite different from what they are used to. The language barrier can be a challenge, as Greek is the official language and English is not widely spoken. Additionally, the local customs and traditions can be difficult to understand and navigate. Expats may also find the pace of life to be slower than what they are accustomed to, as well as the lack of public transportation in some areas. Finally, the hot and humid climate can be a challenge for those who are not used to it," remarked one in Cyprus.

"There are many Cypriots who are not animal lovers and because there is a lareg population of homeless dogs and cats on the island, sometime you see animal cruelty. This saddens me," explained one expat.
