The Cyprus Guide
Everything on this site, in one document.
8 sections and 68 data points — the six districts and what renting actually costs in each, a measured year of weather and sea temperature, the residency routes and tax schemes quoted from the government pages that publish them, the wine country, and the island’s own judged best-of lists.
It is generated from the live site, not written once and forgotten — the figures in it are the figures on the pages, read at the moment you open it. Last built 2026-09-27.
The six districts, and what renting costs in each
Where you live changes the number more than anything else you decide. These are medians of live asking rents for a two-bedroom, with the range the middle half of the market sits in.
- Limassol
- €2,100/mo median 2-bed (€1,700–€2,700) · 87 neighbourhoods measured · 254k peopleCosmopolitan coastal city, financial and shipping hub with the largest expat presence on the island. International schools, fine dining, marina lifestyle.
- Paphos
- €1,500/mo median 2-bed (€1,200–€2,000) · 42 neighbourhoods measured · 99k peopleQuieter Mediterranean lifestyle, strong British retiree community, UNESCO heritage sites. Cheaper than Limassol with a slower pace.
- Nicosia
- €1,000/mo median 2-bed (€828–€1,300) · 47 neighbourhoods measured · 326k peopleCapital, government and university hub, the only divided capital in the world. Inland, hottest summers and coldest winters of the south.

What this guide does not do
It tells you about the island. It cannot tell you about your move.
Which routes are open to you, what has to happen before you fly, which step has a lead time you have already run out of — that is personal, it depends on your answers, and it is what the planner is for.
