My family and I moved to Cyprus 7 years ago, here are 20 reasons why you don’t want to live here.
sunny Cyprus today It attracts the attention of not only tourists, but also those who are in search of a better life. People choose Cyprus as a country for emigration for a reason. There is something beckoning about this island. But is he really that good?
Today's edition. "Site" Find out what to expect from living in Cyprus.
Living in Cyprus today is expensive. To be more precise, it is very expensive. For example, renting housing here will cost at least 1,700 euros, and utilities - at least 170 euros. I went to the supermarket to buy for a month - minus 800-1,100 euros on the card.
Of course, salaries in this island country are also quite high. But that doesn’t mean anyone can move here and make millions. In 2021, the average salary in Cyprus was 1910-2,404 euros.
But for citizens from third world countries there is a special system of hiring. No one will hire you for a good job. You have to prove that you have the level of competence that the company needs. And one diploma here sometimes can not do.
Cyprus is hot and stuffy for 7 months a year. Living in an apartment without air conditioning is physically impossible. Sometimes it is needed in May and still in October. In winter, the street is comfortable, but there is no heating in the apartments. That's why it's so cold, and it all comes down to big electricity bills again. It's got to be warm.
However, to include air conditioning for heating is also not the best idea. It dries air. So you also need a humidifier. Because of all this weather bustle in the apartment steadily decreases the temperature, becomes humid and mold appears. You should pay attention to this first if you are looking for an apartment for rent.
In the heat and cold, the climatic problems of Cyprus do not end. In spring, dust storms often occur on the island, as strong winds bring dust from the Sahara. Breathing it on the streets is not only unpleasant, but also very harmful to health.
Therefore, the air quality should be monitored in special applications that track how safe it is to leave the house at any time. In the same way, you need to monitor the situation with earthquakes. This is a natural phenomenon for Cyprus. And sometimes it can be life-threatening, depending on the magnitude.
Weather events often affect the quality of communication on the island. You can pay a lot of money for the internet. But it is necessary to go to a heavy rain with a thunderstorm - write is lost. Fortunately, there are different providers and operators, so there is a lot to choose from.
To feel free on the island, you need to have your own car. There is public transport, but there are few routes. There are buses that operate no more than 5 flights a day.
At the same time, the owner of his car should prepare for the fact that drivers in Cyprus often ignore the rules of the road. Not so long ago in the country increased fines for traffic violations. The authorities have also begun to install cameras on the roads. So there is hope that the situation will change for the better.
If you are afraid of insects, you will not like Cyprus. There are two types of cockroaches, one of which can fly. Such an uninvited guest can reach 10 centimeters in length. It is harmless to man, but its appearance alone is frightening.
Another nuance read that expats complain about the lack of normal shops. There's no shopping! You often have to order clothes and other things online. But there are problems: ordering food in this way is extremely difficult. Fortunately, progress does not stand still, and today everything is becoming much easier in Cyprus.
And Cyprus is not suitable for those people who are used to the stormy rhythm of life. Moreover, there is even a special term – “shiga-shiga”. Translated into Russian, it means quiet. This is the best way to describe how the locals are used to living on the island.
We can talk about Cyprus for a long time. But for now, we will focus on these aspects. I wonder, after all that said, would you like to live on this island? Boldly share your thoughts in the comments!
