Hey! Did I spot the famous Johnny Rambo in a non-speaking role at Bania? Re the cost of living, I don't pay rent as I am living in my own house, groceries is about half of what you spend, as I am living alone, utilities is always about 100, but 700 for restaurants and such seems a bit high. Either because I am lazy and don't go out as much, or because I get invited a lot. I loved when you were explaining that you can spend much less for an apartment if you want to, overlaying the narrative with an aerial shot of Cap St. George, where prices start at 4 million, but the good ones are much higher! And everything there sells quickly, off-plan. Thank you for a great video showing me once again how good my life is here in Paphos, without having to leave the comfort of my sofa! 👍
Rico congrats for your videos, they are getting better and better. The content is fantastic, thanks for sharing your life, very useful for who is considering moving to Cyprus. Take care
Nicely put together Rico! Your expenses are for 1 person? How ever 3,000€ is not too bad and you are living the life. I’m sure just like other countries with higher inflation, things are more expensive. I’m currently in London on a business trip and I’m having price sticker shocks! Very expensive here! Enjoy life in beautiful Cyprus!
Hey Andrew, how is London? Hope you're enjoying your time there. Yes, my costs are mainly for 1 person, but sometimes I invite people for food. The prices are definitely getting more and more expensive here, but I think this is everywhere in the world. See you soon, Rico.
In my side, similar, maybe 3,6k per month, because two kids in private school, and we are not using restaurant so much. On your example, we can see 2k is also possible ferly easy, if no kids. In winter, I did not like groundfloor apartment, it is cold, but now in summer it is benefit! We are living on ground floor too.
Hey, yes with kids it's very different, but very beautiful of course. I see you always smiling. :) And my apartment, now during summer it is still very fresh. I don't even need the AC, but let's see July & August.
Hi, great video again. About expenses depends on lots of factors: town where you live, hobbies, the car what you have,connections and more importantly "your friends "
Id love to move there and grow my own food and live a very basic lifestyle like i do here (UK). I love being in nature and dont like socialising too much. A small casa in the mountains close to a bus route and water would be ideal.
Hi Rico! Thanks for these series! Can you please do a video on Parking, fines, municipality services and payments, car maintenance, basically everything related to cars) etc. We are new to Cyprus and have parked in the disabled area and got 300 EUR fine (really sad, sad situation). So also wondering is there a way to appeal this if you're a tourist/temporary resident?
Hey there, sorry to hear that. I also got a few fines recently. As I'm a foreigner in this country, I just pay it immediately, but I know from some friends that there are options to appeal, yes.
I have pretty much the same monthly expenses in Limassol except I don’t have a car but life is more expensive in Limassol in general. Idk how anyone can survive on 1k in Cyprus though unless you own a house.
wow a pool with no children love it. here many children in Philippines. I really not like family life. I prefer your life i am not made for family but to late..
Thanks for sharing, I just wondered ruffle how much you earn😅 and how is look the minimum wages n Cyprus? just I need to figure it out how is it ,because I think about moving on Cyprus
Hi, I understood from locals that electricity is very, very expensive... how do you pay so little? There are families here (Larnaca) with 2 children who pay 800 to 1,000 euros. Can be?
Hi Rico, I'm moving to Cyprus in a few months (Larnaca/Nicosia) and I'm starting to look for an apartment/house. Do you recommend any websites besides bazaraki to look for a place to rent? Great videos man, following you for some time now :)
Food is expensive in supermarkets ,and the quality isn't the best not even organic. Restaurants are expensive and have average quality, especially asian restaurants where cooks aren't even asian. Taxis are more expensive than last year. I am so disappointed of Cyprus.
Hi Rico. Thanks for another video. Based on the comparison I have had living before in Spain and knowing Italy and Portugal and recently residing in Cyprus, the value to quality ratio in Cyprus looks poor in comparison. The cost of living is about 20% higher and stardards of development and infrustructure (roads, quality of housing, etc) comparably worse. Also, clothing and electronics (which are not part of your budget in this video) are much, sometimes - 50 to 70 more for exactly same items.But definitely, the nature and the beaches are lovely. Though, the other, mentioned above countries have the same in abundance. I thought this comparison might be interesting if people wondered where to move.
Hey, Cyprus living costs are definitely increasing, however, the tax scheme here makes it very attractive for me and many entrepreneurs to still live here. If you can reduce your taxes down to 12.5% corporate tax, or 0% dividend tax, I'm fine with paying 50€ more for electronics. And Cyprus is one of the very few countries that requires staying only 60 days in the country.
@Rico I meant to say, that exactly same items (clothing and electronics) I compared were at least 50% more expensive (not Euros) - sorry, I wasn't precise. Reg dividends, you still need to pay Gesy contribution on it which is 2,65. There are even better options in that respect, eg in Portugal non-dom, where you pay exactly zero on offshore dividends and need to stay in the country only one week in a year with cost of living 25% lower. Just a food for thought....
Hi Rico. Thanks for the video! I will be using public buses in Limassol. How are the buses? I rather take the bus in the start until I get used to living in Cyprus. I liked the business event at the end of the video. I'm starting out as a freelance writer in food science, nutrition & food, and technical writing in food manufacturing. I'm interested to connect with other business professionals. How do I get to connect with the meetup? do you have a website, please? Thanks.
How is the quality of tap water and air in cyprus ? is it easy to find organic nuts vegetables and fruits ? Am suprised you drive a car like that instead of a more sporty and or expensive car ? what about mosquitos there ? Thank You
No there isn't much organic food here,not even organic meat unfortunately . For example berries are very expensive. Food is more expensive this year but the quality is the same. We don't drink tap water, there are water machines where u can bring big 10l water bottle and take water from there. There are mosquitos in the spring especially in summer not so much. Cyprus has been waste of money for us.
@@catsfan_M ok what a shame and also tje air quality is not so good as i was hoping for, now am looking at thailand and portugal for the winter season. Thank you
hi Rico, Great video, as always. Please could you let me know the name of the wifi / fibre internet company you use. It sounds amazing for 20 euros monthly. Thank you so much in advance.
Hey, for that I would like to introduce you to my law partners to get a professional and individual answer to you. If you want, you can reach out to me via my website, or IG. :)
Hey Rico. Thank you for your great videos. I have a question. I got an admission from The Cyprus Institute. How much is the living cost in Nicosia? Is it cheaper?
Generally, Nicosia is considered more expensive than the Paphos area. Nicosia is a bigger city and has 250k citizens, Paphos maybe 100k (over a very large area).
Hi Rico, great videos, i found you through, well needing some help. My parents want to buy a property and move to Cyprus, from munich germany, very soon. But they plan on trying north Cyprus, do you you know or could recommend som1 to help them out. Before they lose their life savings.. be more than greatfull . Thanks. All the best. Hope to hear from you soon.😊
Moin, wie schaut es bei einem modernen Haus wie deins aus mit dem Thema Toilettenpapier nicht mit runter spülen? Ende des Jahres ziehe ich mit meinem Bruder nach Zypern LG
@@Rico We are looking into buying some decent land in Aya Napa to construct houses there like we want, with a couple of friends... one of them is looking into it in these days. If you want to join us that would be great

🎉спасибо за информацию. Кипр просто супер
Wauw, can you tell me the name of that beach? Love your videos! would love to connect with you in Paphos this summer
That was the Paphos Harbor and we were just paddling to the hotel area. :) Thank you!
It would be great to know how much the expenses would be for a young family of 3 with a toddler?
Is it possible to live full time in a motorhome or caravan , for example in designated camping grounds ?
Hello I live in Cyprus and I love this island/cuntry

Thank you! I use the Rode Wireless GO II outdoors and the Shure SM7B in my office.
Hi Rico great video.Where did you learn to make such good videos?
Thank you very much, this is my 85th video. In Germany, we say "Übung macht den Meister", which means with practice you become a master. :)
Hi how much to rent a lounge beds with umbrella on the beach Side?thak you.
Do you think 2 people could live on 1000€ monthly, exluding rent (lets assume they own a 1 bed apartment)?
Hey, if you exclude rent and you live very basic, yes sure.
But most people who want to come to Cyprus will be families or retired couples. At least consider them and what they will have to pay.
Food is expensive in supermarkets ,and the quality isn't the best not even organic. Restaurants are expensive and have average quality, especially asian restaurants where cooks aren't even asian.
