Relocating to Cyprus

Sadly good bus services to and from the smaller inland  villages are not common and those that do are not brilliant...many simply have a single shop/kiosk a coffee shop and a taverna and not much else.....  The larger villages may have a few more and their services may have a bus service that may be once an hour with limited running hours which get even shorter in winter... Outlying areas you need a car for sure and mostly will need to speak the language...

I think you would be wise to choose a coastal area but they tend to mere expensive..

Best advice is to get here take a short let rental property try various areas see what takes your fancy and do the same there . New arrivals rarely get their first choice right..it takes a little time 6momths to a year  to identify exactly what it is and where you want to be that suits your intended lifestyle and gives you the services you require . We are all different and what suits one person doesn't necessarily suit another..

For example we live in peyia as it suits us and gives us what we want and need .. been here I years and have had 5 properties all rented and we bought our (5th) property last year....but many hate it .. others that we know have chosen outlying areas  such as prodromi argaka droussiea kathikas tsada Kallepia .. then you need to consider health andtransport many are on hills and can be challenging waking as one gets older if you don't have a car

It's difficult to make recommendations as there are so many places but am sure ther will be one that suits you

Good luck
