Hi fluttery,

If you shop locally and are not bothered about Uk branded goods you should be ok.
Also dont go to the touristy restaurants etc, stick to the local tavernas where it is cheap to eat out.
You would probably need a car but you can pick up a little cheapie easily and petrol is much cheaper than in the Uk.
300-500euros will get you a decent apartment especially if it is only you and you dotn need a big one. Remeber also if you have a spare bedroom there are always people looking to rent a room if oyu can stand to have someone else in your apartment. Maybe you could share with a colleague.
Rememeber to de-register for tax before you leave the Uk so that you are paying tax in Cyprus not back home asyou will pay much less that way.
