Properties in Cyprus may not be an investment opportunity UK investors have considered in the past, so TheMoveChannel.com provides an overview of Cyprus and its culture.
The third largest island in the world, known for its lively nightlife and close ties to the UK, Cyprus is a popular destination for holidaymakers and retirees alike. But would you want to live there?
Why Live There
Cyprus is nicknamed the ‘Island of Love’ and many tourists flock there throughout the year searching for sun, fun and the occasional romantic encounter.
Boasting more than 340 days of sunshine a year, the climate is as warm and as welcoming as the people. Cyprus is not only appealing to holidaymakers but also to those looking for a nice place to retire to. Many settle on the island secure in the knowledge that the country has very little crime, favourable taxation and a first-class health care system.
There’s plenty to do in Cyprus with the capital city, Nicosia an interesting and entertaining place. The city has a split community, reflecting the rest of the country - the Greek Cypriots in the south and the Turkish Cypriots in the north – but there’s still a sense of harmony and both communities live relatively peacefully.
Nicosia has an array of churches, monasteries and museums to visit for the culture vultures, as well as the option of numerous shops and two very modern malls to browse around.
In the south coast of the island, apart from the usual beach activities, there are museums, archaeological sites and a recently built marina in Limassol to see. While in Larnaca, there’s a salt lake, which is frequented by a flock of flamingos.
Dating & Marriage
As Cyprus is a split country, the dating and marriage traditions are based on the two main religions, Greek Orthodox and Islam.
In the south under the Greek Orthodox religion, when a couple become engaged, the two mothers visit the homes of family and friends to invite them to the wedding, blessing the couple over wine at each house.
At the service there will be some nifty footwork going on, as it is believed that the first one, bride or groom, to put their foot on top of the others, will run the house.
In the traditional Muslim, Turkish Cypriot family, the father has the last word in his children’s choice of spouses and customarily, the bride and groom do not have a chance for individual visits prior to their engagement.
Originally, the wedding ceremonies for the bridegroom and bride occurred separately, although most Turkish Cypriots no longer perform this custom. Only the Turkish rural migrants to Cyprus continue the tradition of separate ceremonies.
Dan Johnson, Managing Director, comments “Cyprus enjoys strong ties with the UK and the locals are generally, very friendly, welcoming and proud of their Anglo-Cypriot relations.”
