hello! I am new to this forum, so hope I have posted in the right place. I have read lots of posts and followed lots of links, but not found an answer to my questions - so, here goes

I have been offered a teaching job in an international school, and discovered how much it costs to rent property, but before I make my decision and sign a contract, I'd really like an idea of how much it costs to live. I've been teaching in the UK for a while now and don't really fancy 'slumming it' like I had to in the early years of my career!

so, if anyone can advise me on roughly how much it would cost for a single person, in limassol or larnaca to live I would be really pleased

I understand I could rent a furnished flat for around E300-500 how much are electricity bills? water? phone (with broadband)? food? (I am prepared to shop locally) clothing? taxes? anything else I have missed?

I realise that there are lots of posts about this, but as I say, I've followed loads of links and not really found an answer! My cost of living in the UK is about £1300 E1650 (excl petrol)
