| Cyprian Lifestyle |
|
| Lifestyle The
Northern part of island is largely unspoilt
by commercial tourism, combined with its ancient
history, untouched nature, spacious beaches
and delicious cuisine at affordable prices,
makes this lifestyle a genuinely unique pleasure.
The relaxed pace of life is typical with most
Mediterranean countries, and although there
is no cultural pattern of the siesta –
the relaxed nature exists especially in the
hotter months. You will gently adjust from the
hectic pace of the British lifestyle to that
of North Cyprus and gradually notice your lunches
becoming longer as you enjoy the slower pace
of life.
Northern Cyprus is a virtually crime free area
which will remind you of Britain in the 1960s.
The famed Northern Cypriot hospitality will
overwhelm you with its generosity, hospitality,
warmth and politeness in a way reminiscent of
welcoming you into their community – not
simply as a tourist.

Health
The cost of medical treatment in the local hospitals
is lower than comparative care in the UK depending
of course on the type of treatment required. Accident
and emergency facilities are available at local
hospitals. It is recommended that you seek a local
GP, many of whom have had UK experience, for many
minor ailments. Private healthcare is also available
through a number of international medical insurance
companies if required. Dental treatment is of
a high standard and charges are moderate.

Education
General education standards in the TRNC are
of a very high standard and are borne out by
the fact that there are four universities based
in Northern Cyprus. The majority of schools
offer bilingual education starting with kindergarten
through secondary school and finally university.
Eating
There is a fantastic selection of excellent
restaurants ranging from authentic Cypriot cuisine
to Chinese, Indian, Italian and even Thai! See
below for a small selection of popular restaurants.
There are also extremely good value meals to
be found at Kyrenia harbour with 3 course meals
staring from £8 with a beautiful setting. |

| Community
The British Community is growing very fast as
more and more Brits (from young business people,
through to retired and families with children)
buy property in Northern Cyprus and come to
permanently live on the northern side of the
island. |
 |
There is a local
English newspaper which will help you to know
what's going on the island and get your messages
through to the community. Most of the supermarkets
and local corner shops sell the weekly English
paper “Cyprus Today”, which is published
every Saturday. All forthcoming events –
concerts, charity events, evening and day entertainment,
as well as useful information and advertisements
from different business, restaurants and bars
are advertised here. In addition, most British
papers are available from most Hotels.
You will quickly find local amenities,
restaurants and other social venues a plenty
occupied by like minded Brits enjoying their
new life in the sun. In addition there are many
small businesses that exist started by Brits
who have re-located and you will have many opportunities
to become involved in local community events
and meet friends if you so wish of British origin.
You will also find that there is not a separation
of ‘locals’ and ‘tourists’,
like in many other places, but that the local
community share many of the same background,
interests, and indeed businesses with the British
who live there. |
It is often mentioned,
that you don’t feel as much of a tourist
in Northern Cyprus, more part of the community.
This is due in no small part to the characteristics
of the Northern Cypriots and the many generations
of international people who have settled there
– ensuring a unique community experience
that can be whatever you wish it to be. (Full
English breakfast is available everywhere should
you not want to change too much!)
Benefits
of North Cyprus
The northern part of island is largely unspoilt
by commercial tourism, combined with its ancient
history, untouched nature, spacious beaches
and delicious cuisine at affordable prices,
makes this area a genuinely unique pleasure.
The cost of living in Northern
Cyprus is significantly cheaper than anywhere
else in the Mediterranean, whilst property prices
in the southern part are expensive, prices are
still low in the North making property an extremely
attractive option with high build quality and
beautiful designs providing a sound investment
with strong capital growth. Direct flights are
expected to be available within the next year
reducing the flying time from 6 hours to 4.
Alternatively you can fly directly to Larnaca
in the South and transfer across the border.
Northern Cyprus is a virtually
crime free area which will remind you of Britain
in the 1960s. The famed Northern Cypriot hospitality
will overwhelm you with its generosity, hospitality,
warmth and politeness in a way reminiscent of
welcoming you into their community – not
simply as a tourist.
