Popular places to live in Cyprus – Where expats are

really happy

Cyprus is more than just sun, beach and souvlaki. The Mediterranean island offers a wide variety of lifestyles for expats – from vibrant coastal towns to quiet mountain villages and charming harbour towns. Anyone who settles here is spoilt for choice. But which places are really popular - and why?

Limassol is the economic heart of Cyprus and a hotspot for expats, entrepreneurs and international schools. Modern high-rise buildings, a marina, boutiques, restaurants and a long city beach make the city particularly attractive for families and professionals.

Tip: If you are looking for proximity to Limassol, but want to live quieter, you will find Germasogeia or Agios Tychonas ideal residential areas.

Paphos is the classic among emigrant destinations. This is where ancient culture meets Mediterranean village life. Many British and German retirees have settled here because the region is quiet, green and cool – especially in the hills around Tala or Peyia.

Tip: Ideal for retirees, self-employed and families looking for closeness to nature.

Larnaca – The underrated port city of Larnaca was an insider tip for a long time, but has been experiencing a real boom in recent years.

Ayia Napa & Protaras – Paradises for beach lovers

On the east coast, Ayia Napa and Protaras attract visitors with turquoise waters and fine sandy beaches. Formerly known as pure holiday resorts, they are also becoming increasingly important as a place to live – especially for people looking for sun, sea and peace and quiet.

Tip: Ideal for second homes or home office life with sea views.

The capital Nicosia is located in the interior and is the political and cultural center of Cyprus. If you are looking for urban life with museums, restaurants and an international atmosphere, this is the place for you.

Tip: Often the best choice for professionals with office jobs and families with schoolchildren.
Conclusion: The right home for every lifestyle

Whether Mediterranean village life, vibrant city or quiet beach town - Cyprus offers the right environment for every life situation.
