Imagine
there was an island...bathed in Mediterranean
sunshine, where the sky was blue, the sea warm
and the sandy beaches were fringed with swaying
palm trees… Imagine you could go hiking or ski
in the mountains in the morning, and deep-sea
dive in the afternoon, visit ancient
archaeological sites one day and watch the
sunset on the waterfront the next… Imagine a
place where the people were friendly, it was
safe, the pace of life was easy, the food tasty,
and the simple life was good.
Now imagine this is not a fairytale, but part of
daily life in Cyprus.

COULD THIS BE FOR YOU?
The Mediterranean island of Cyprus, and
especially the western region of Pafos, as well
as being a popular winter sun
destination for romantic and family holidays, is
also one of the best-kept secrets as a lifestyle
destination. Living here is easy, as Cypriots
drive on the left, English is widely spoken and
understood, the Cypriot legal system is based on
the English one and you enjoy the benefits of a
stable growing economy that is part of the EU.
Cyprus is also becoming a most attractive
low-tax haven for ex-patriots, and the
exceptionally low levels of crime make it a safe
place to live at any time of life.
The mythical island of Cyprus, with its
spectacular Troodos mountains, traditional
villages, sandy beaches, long coastline and
Akamas national park has centuries of culture to
be proud of, and a vibrant Mediterranean
lifestyle waiting for you today.

The standard of
living in Cyprus is excellent and the cost of
living emarkably low considering the quality
of life. A virtually pollution free
environment and enviably low crime rates make
the island a comfortable and stress-free place
to reside.

FABULOUS
SCENERY
With its fantastic all-year
round summer climate, fine beaches and
mart new golf courses, Cyprus is no less
renowned for the warm hospitality of its
locals and relaxing Mediterranean
lifestyle. The island of Cyprus is the
third largest in the Mediterranean
covering a land area of 9,251km2. The
land mass itself contrasts between the
pine forest clad peaks of the Troodos
mountain range, stunning natural rock
formations and long stretches of sandy
beach. |

SANDY
BEACHES AND MOUNTAIN VILLAGES
The warm blue waters of the sparkling
Mediterranean Sea are calm, making pure pleasure
of a day’s sailing or time spent relaxing on
the beach.
A sense of timelessness lingers in the foothills
and mountain villages of the Troodos, where
daily life has changed little as the centuries
have passed. The hospitality of old Cyprus can
still be found and savoured here in many family
tavernas. Take lunch under trailing vines that
provide a shady respite for lunch from the hot
summer sun.
CULTURAL WEALTH
Aside from the island’s obvious visitor appeal
with its expanse of stunning coastline,
guaranteed sunshine, quaint traditional villages
nestling on spectacular mountains, and
irresistible cuisine, Cyprus’ richly textured
society and culture offer that bit more than
most holiday destinations.
Lying at the crossroads of Europe, Asia and
Africa the country reflects a multitude of
cultural influences. |

ARCHAEOLOGICAL
RICHES
Numerous archaeological finds across the island
bear witness to many ancient civilisations that
have left their influence on the island over the
centuries. This extraordinary heritage goes back
over 10,000 years, and makes Cyprus the diverse
and captivating land it is today.

easier with record numbers of international
