CYPRUS - A PARADISE FOR RETIREMENT

Cyprus has proved to be an increasingly popular place for retirement and demand is forthcoming mainly from the European countries.

Living conditions are extremely pleasant and relatively inexpensive. One can enjoy a high quality of life among friendly people most of whom speak English and other languages.

The climate of Cyprus never fails to delight its visitors and every season has a charm and beauty of its own. In summer sandy beaches and crystal clear waters beckon swimmers and provide the perfect conditions for sunbathing and watersports. Yet a complete contrast awaits in the cool pine-covered mountains of Troodos with its delightful hill resorts.

As the land mellows in autumn there is a wonderful clarity of air on those balmy days, still warmed by the brilliant Cyprus sun. The sea temperature is still high after the long summer. The Cyprus winter is short and mild with average daytime temperatures around 16°C.There is a short snow season on the mountains from December to March with fun to be had by all ages. In springtime the island takes on an enchanting beauty. The countryside is set ablaze as glorious wild flowers and fragrant blossoms burst into life to delight the eye with their stunning colours. In Cyprus there are 120 endemic flower varieties that grow nowhere else in the world.

Cyprus is a paradise for nature lovers. As the days lengthen and the sun gathers strength, Cyprus enters an idyllic season for walks, leisurely picnics, swimming and sun-bathing.

There is a Cyprus season to suit all types, as there is a special part in this island of contrasts to appeal to all tastes.

Esperia Estates can offer a variety of properties to suit your individual needs for retirement. Renovated traditional village houses, newly built villas facing the sea and building a house to your own requirements are just a few examples.

Retired expatriates residing in Cyprus, whose country of origin has entered into a double taxation relief agreement with the Cyprus government, pay tax only in Cyprus (not the country where the earnings originate from) at extremely low rates.
