Useful Information
The Island
Cyprus is the 3rd largest of the Mediterranean islands offering a wealth of forests, mineral deposits and natural beauty. Its rich cultural diversity also makes it one of the most impressive and exciting islands in Europe. Two international airports located in Larnaca and Paphos offer direct and incredibly efficient access to and from the island as well as a network of modern, uncongested roads. Globally, Cyprus also offers one of the best telecommunication systems along with superb medical services.
In terms of natural beauty, the island of Cyprus has much to offer. To the west, the imposing Troodos Mountains keep watch over the island, offering a haven to local flora and fauna whilst doubling up as a superb ski resort in the winter. For those investors wanting excitement, the island also boasts an impressive range of shooting ranges, coarse fishing and water sport facilities.
Local people pride themselves on their friendly, relaxed way of life and this is reflected throughout the island, in the atmosphere you will experience, the food you will eat and the ambiance of Cyprus as a whole.
Government
Cyprus’ presidential government system offers investors an independent, sovereign republic which actively encourages the rights or its residents and the needs of the individual.
Communications
Boasting one of the best telecommunication systems, Cyprus can also offer up to date internet, television and interactive services. For example, research shows that one package industry leader, CYTA, offers broadband TV including wireless connection to the internet, thematic channels, the most recent movie features and live sports matching including football, basketball and volleyball.
Healthcare
The English language is used in abundance throughout the island, a reassuring prospect to investors looking to move abroad, especially when it comes to such important matters as health care. Cyprus boasts of incredibly high standards of medical service and, as many of the island’s doctors will have trained in the UK, most will be able to communicate effectively. Rest assured that if you do become ill while abroad in Cyprus, you are likely to receive the most up to date operating techniques and equipment.
Access to a full range of medical services including doctors, dentists and hospitals is readily available, and many, as a rule, charge substantially lower fees than those in neighbouring European areas. There are also a vast amount of pharmacies throughout the island, offering an up to date and well-supplied range of products which, like the UK, can be purchased over the counter at competitive rates.
