If you are thinking about moving to Cyprus or you are in the middle of a move to Cyprus then it is a good idea to gain some basic information about Cyprus so that you gain an idea of what to expect when you arrive in Cyprus.

Cyprus is the third-largest island and one of the most popular tourist destinations in the Mediterranean, attracting over 2.4 million tourists per year. It is also possible to enjoy regular trips to the mountains and beaches due to the small scale of the Island.

If you are currently or thinking about moving to Cyprus you have the option of either renting or buying a property. One of the best ways to find property to rent or buy in Cyprus is by looking through specialist press, which is available in either Greek or English. It is important that you thoroughly research the prices of the property and that you think about which area is in your best interest to live. You should think about where your employment will be located and how close you are to schools if there are children involved.

Schools are just one of the important factors that you will have to think about when it comes to moving to Cyprus and this shouldn’t be a problem as the Republic of Cyprus wishes to ensure that children who come to live in Cyprus from other EU countries are able to continue their education and the Ministry of Education and Culture is the competent body to approach for help about finding a school.

Another important that you have to consider when moving to Cyprus is how the medical care is provided. The medical care in Cyprus is provided by the Government. The government medical services can be used by anyone who chooses to be treated at a medical institution. Every city within Cyprus has its own hospital with an Accident & Emergency department.

When it comes to getting around Cyprus nearly every family has at least one car and public transport is often confined mainly to urban bus services; however the use of the bus service has declined a lot in recent years.
