What to Expect from Expat Life in Nicosia?
The island nation of Cyprus is arguably most famous for its beach resorts, which means the capital city of Nicosia can seem somewhat overshadowed by tourist-dominated locations such Limassol and Ayia Napa. Still, like the rest of Cyprus, excellent weather and an attractive setting mean tourism is big business in the city, although technology and communications are also major economic drivers. Many expats also come to Nicosia to retire, attracted by the low cost of living and appealing climate. On the whole, locals are friendly and welcoming, with English widely spoken as a second language, particularly among the younger generations, making Nicosia a very easy and comfortable city to adapt to, whatever your reasons for being in the Cypriot capital.
InterNations is the largest global network for expatriates, with communities in 420 cities around the world. Meet fellow global minds in your city of residence or get to know local expatriates before you're moving or traveling abroad and never feel like a stranger. InterNations makes it easy for you to stay in touch with your expat friends, both online and offline, so you can grow your network of friends and contacts from all over the world. Whether they live in Istanbul or Paris, InterNations allows you to be close to them even if they are miles away.

You can also use our platform and particularly our groups to connect with fellow members for social activities such as taking a language course in Greek or Turkish, meeting other expats with young children in the city or finding companions to enjoy Nicosia's thriving live music scene. We also organize regular official events in Nicosia, at which you can network with fellow expats during an informal evening of food, drink, and live entertainment.
