5 YEARS HERE THIS WEEKEND by Toon
Well time flies and weve been here 5 years this weekend so its time for us to apply for our permanent residency and of course celebrate the enjoyment of the last 5 years whilst looking forward to further years here on this beautiful sunshine island ...
Lucky you. Your 5 years are up before Brexit! We only have 3 years so no permanent residence assured yet. :-( Looks like the exchange rate is going to drive us back to Scotland sooner than might otherwise have been the case. We had been considering ... Read More
Good Larnaca areas by Kerryspirit
I just wonder if you want to rent in Larnaca (as I am looking there for work especially) is there a particular area where its nicer or an area you should avoid? Thanks I appreciate any experience :-)
Sounds like you are pretty well sorted and will have no problems settling into any neighbourhood in Larnaca so, as previously stated, choose your priorities and budget and move in. :) :-) The Cypriots are the most friendly people in the world so ... Read More

My point was that there are no specific areas to recommend, or avoid. Decide on your own priorities, and budget and go for it. You will pay more for near the beach or town centre, which is where we are but can then walk into town anytime. Further ... Read More

One of the things I like most about Larnaca Town is that there does not appear to be any "class" related issues wherever you go. There are no real "ghettos". The area we live in has run down properties nestling between large ... Read More
Car buy in cyprus or import 6 yr old diesel car? by Eucharia63
Im looking for advice on what i should do. Would it be better to purchase a car there?
A lot would depend on the condition of the car you want to import. A 6 year old car from the UK will have been exposed to 6 winters of salted roads whereas the same car in Cyprus will probably be rust free for many years to come. Read More

Speaking Greek in Cyprus by Priscilla
Hi everyone, It is widely agreed that speaking Greek is essential for a successful integration in Cyprus. Do you agree? Share your experience! Do you speak Greek? If so, where did you learn this language? Where can one attend a language ...
As newcomers to Cyprus, we have started trying to learn Greek but I think it will be years before we will be able to converse naturally. However, every little helps and we have found that demonstrating a will to try goes a long way in developing ... Read More
Lock Ups? by Harvey17
Does anyone know if there are lock-ups for rent or sale in Larnaca? Preferably near the Harbour area but anywhere considered. Looking for around 20 - 30m2 but, as long as it is secure and has a power supply, I am open to offers.
Not really. I take your point on the language, but self storage is not really what I need. I want to fit a small workshop in the unit to run a compressor and store and maintain my scuba kit, as well as possibly a car. I've tried Googling ... Read More

What to bring/not bring? What can I replace easily? by Chui2
I am trying to reduce my shipping considerably. At the moment I have some items that I am dithering about as they are special to us for one reason or another. Can I replace them easily in Cyprus? 1.A set of very good plastic storage containers in ...
I suppose it is down to what you want to have. We considered selling up in the UK and buying everything new but, our leather suite was 拢4500 when new and we would only have got a few hundred trying to sell it. Our bed was a good solid wood ... Read More
