Essential Expat Guide<br />
<strong>Cyprus</strong> is a top tourist destination for all seasons,<br />
and one of Europe’s hot spots for expats thanks to its<br />
thriving economy and relaxed Mediterranean lifestyle.<br />
COUNTRY<br />
Located in the Eastern Mediterranean at the crossroads of Europe, the Middle East,<br />
Asia and Africa, <strong>Cyprus</strong>’ strategic position has played a key role in shaping its history<br />
and in developing the island into a centre for trade and international business. <strong>Cyprus</strong><br />
enjoys around 340 days of glorious sunshine a year and boasts a coastline teeming with<br />
endless stretches of golden sands, secluded bays and rocky coves. Surrounded by the<br />
crystal-clear waters of the Mediterranean Sea, the island is dotted with the fascinating<br />
remains of history from Neolithic settlements and ancient city-kingdoms to exquisite<br />
Byzantine art and magnificent Venetian architecture.<br />
<strong>Cyprus</strong> is known for its hospitality – filoxenia – a fact reflected in the Greek word<br />
xenos which is used for both guest and stranger. Life is meant to be enjoyed in <strong>Cyprus</strong>,<br />
where emphasis is put on working to live, as opposed to living for work. Café culture<br />
predominates, with both business and social meetings taking place over a leisurely<br />
iced coffee frappé in the numerous cafes in every town and city.<br />
