4 Years in Cyprus: My Honest Review

Join me for a day in the life in Cyprus. I'm doing a VLOG where I talk about my honest review about living in Cyprus for 4 years.

I am driving to Limassol, I meet some people and along the way I talk about living costs, tax benefits, climate, religion, lifestyle, quality of life and much more.

Cyprus is a beautiful European country in the Mediterranean region, and I moved here in 2019. Until then, I saw a lot of the good and some bad things here.

So I also talk about the negative side and some common myths about Cyprus that people talk about, but I don't agree with.

It's definitely very interesting, and I'm excited to share it with you. As always, thanks for watching! :)

I'm a Cypriot and another negative thing you haven't covered up is the road accidents. Alot of deaths in Cyprus occur because of car or motorbike accidents, they aren't careful here and they often drive very fast so you have to watch your foot when you step on the road. We have the second highest mortality rate by road accidents in Europe.

Hello my friend! I am Cypriot and I feel happy when foreigners visit or stay to Cyprus 🇨🇾 And that's because we are usually not satisfied with life here and we are surprised when foreigners do like it here! Thank you for reminding me how beautiful life is here in Cyprus threw your honest video! 🙏🏻❤😊

Great video Rico, I moved to Cyprus 6 months ago, and part of the decision was due to your videos that I watched before coming here. Like in any country, there are good and bad things. But overall, it's a good place to be living in. Hope to get a beer or a coffee with you sometime soon. I am also in Paphos, the best area in Cyprus in my opinion. Take care!

You’re absolutely right - corruption is a worldwide problem, not just one country. Although there are some countries I can think of which are more notorious than others, Cyprus certainly is not one of them!

Bureaucracy! We all tear our hair out because of bureaucracy. All in all, apart from prices and the increase in the cost of living Cyprus still sounds a great place to live.

Thanks for the videos.

Well, , you have reminded me the good memories of four years of my stay in Cyprus when I was studying there. Believe me in general the Cypriot🇨🇾 are very nice people and I am still connected to my Cypriot friends and colleagues although I have left Cyprus since 10 years.
Long live Cyprus.

[PhilipDjaferis]

as someone who grew up in Cyprus and now live abroad I enjoy your insights and objective 'reporting'. I share your frustration regarding the bureaucracy as my son's name was also changed in a similar way to your and now he has problems here where we live...the 'it does not matter' attitude has to change! ;-)

Hey Rico, thank you for your videos, I've been watching them for quite a time and finally I moved to Cyprus as well, I'm here for 2 months already, so thank you for all the knowledge you are sharing with us!

Thank you so much for all your good comments about our island. You are such a kind person. If you pop up to my mothers house up in the village I am sure she will prepare for you a good lunch despite that he never meets you and when you will leave she will defintely give you walnuts and dry grapes 🥰🥰🥰🥰 She is 84 years old now. I am wishing you a pleasant staying to our island for as long as you like and hope God will help you to accomplish your dreams and goals ❤

Thanks for the videos! Moving to Limassol on July 2nd. To be honest, I didn't study Cyprus very well. So, little nervous about the move from Seattle 🌧️☔. Close to my home; Jordan. Your videos show it's a great place. I feel better about my move.

Thank you, I moved to Cyprus from England in 2006 first to Agia Napa, now I live village life in Avgorou and it is so much nicer. 🤗🤗😎😎

as a Cypriot what i hate in my country is the fact that there is no respect at all with the animals, the cats, you see everyday cats killed in the roads, no respect to the environment, the high prices in everything, the corruption, if you are a normal person is so difficult to afford to live here, and no respect in the roads, they drive like crazy here, The positive aspects are the sea, Most Cypriots i believe we have an empathy for other people and we are helpful, the food, and is a country that you can relax and have beautiful moments.

Hi, Rico. I have to tell you from my own experience here in Pafos, that the level of criminality is higher now. I personally have bad experience with thieves and robberies in Kato Pafos. They tried to steal my car three times already during the night.

[Zvenson]

Hey Rico, one of your best videos for me personally :-) Thank you so much for this great content. I'm from Germany too and am going to move to Cyprus the next year. Many people have problems in the winter because of the missing heaters in the apartments. How do you feel about that? Is it enough to heat with the ac? I'm just asking because I am a person whos freezing very fast ...and that's obvious one of the reasons I want to leave Germany :-P

[matthawksworth]

Really appreciate your videos, Cyprus seems like a nice place. As for any unfavorable changes that might be occuring, every nice and livable area of the world is experiencing the same thing as world governing groups try to gain more control. Only if you want to live in a desert will things remain unchanged in this time. So in proportion, Cyprus is still good.

Hi Rico! Wunderbar! Great video. Well done making your new life in Cyprus. I actually thought you were the son of Scottish Grand Prix driver David Coulthard 🙂 I'm interested in finding out about living in Cyprus, but obviously it's more difficult for UK citizens now because of stupid Brexit

[MENSA.lady]

Hi Rico. I discovered Cyprus way back in 1968 when I did a tour of duty there with the RAF.

Yes Cyprus has a lot going for it. Providing your a tourist or retired.

Otherwise holding down a full time job is tough unless you are fluent in Greek.

You say "money laundering" like it's a bad thing...

[damiondee]

I like how you gave the 20 EUR tip to gas station worker, thanks! 🙏

[trut]

You're a good guy. I can see you are have a good financial mindset too, instead of trying to "flex" with a car, have a normal, good car you probably bought for cash. Great stuff! Happy that I've came across your channel.
Also, to your point on rules, there are there in Spain too, which is very relaxed in other aspects.
Bicycle helmets must be worn and also on the small electric scooters, it's a 100 or 200€ fine and they do fine people for it.
Of course, it's still no Germany or Switzerland, but slowly increasing the rules for sure.
