Family Move to Paralimni

[MovingtoCyprus]

Hello everyone

My name is Sarah I am 37 and I have 2 children aged 3 years and 18 months. My husband has set up a business in Cyrpus (Paralimni) and he would like the family to move out there for a year whilst he grows the business. Could anyone give me some information on the area and also someone honest who could find us a nice family home to rent for the year.
I am also into horses and would like to do some riding whilst I am there, are there any good riding facilities or a place to find out about getting a horse on loan whilst I am there?

Hope you can help me

Sarah

Sarah,

We are in similar position, moving out to cyprus next year with a 16 months old, looking for best place to move to and best for our daughter. On reading this forum it seems that Paphos area is the most popular and seems to have all year round business and large expat community which is important to me.
Let me know how you get on and forward any useful information my way, god knows we need it.

Paphos is full of British people. The reason we moved from the UK was for a change and so we live in a small Cypriot community in between Larnaca and Limassol. If you need to be surrounded by expats Paphos will be ideal. If not, Cyprus is a small island and nowhere is too far from anywhere.

I agree, i need the expat community to help me and so i dont feel isolated, just need to find some work now and we are nearly there.
You don't need an NVQ assessor by any chance ??

Sadly not. Good luck though. What is your husbands business?

Husband does the NVQ assessor, sports coach, fitness instructor etc. I work with young offenders but there doesn't seem to be any work for me in cyprus. I might have to look at youth work or a similar field. I have a 16 month old daughter so would like to take some time off to spend with her.
