Six districts, very different lifestyles. Use the lens that matters most to you — climate, expat density, schools, cost — to compare.
Cosmopolitan coastal city, financial and shipping hub with the largest expat presence on the island. International schools, fine dining, marina lifestyle.
Quieter Mediterranean lifestyle, strong British retiree community, UNESCO heritage sites. Cheaper than Limassol with a slower pace.
Capital, government and university hub, the only divided capital in the world. Inland, hottest summers and coldest winters of the south.
Home to the main international airport, gentler-paced coastal town, mid-range pricing. Salt Lake and flamingos in winter.
South-eastern coastal district covering Ayia Napa, Protaras and Paralimni. Famous beaches, summer-tourism economy.
North-western corner — wild Akamas peninsula, traditional villages, the quietest coastline. For those who want Cyprus before the boom.
