Cost of Living

The relatively low cost of living is one of the reasons why life in Cyprus appeals to many foreigners wishing to purchase a home abroad. Eating out, supermarket shopping and general services compare favourably to the prices in the UK and other European destinations. Cyprus offers an excellent variety of fresh, inexpensive fruit, vegetables, meat and fish.

The wines and spirits of Cyprus are of excellent quality and very reasonably priced. Cyprus sherry, the aperitif Ouzo, locally produced brandy and beers are also widely available. Cigarettes cost from around CY£1.35 for a packet of 20.
