Both my wife and I are retired and we are considering a move to Cyprus. The only uptodate knowledge we have of the island has come from 'Cyprus - Lonely Planet' and we would appreciate any suggestions readers may have.
Rightly or wrongly, we wish to locate to a community where:
1. There is an Expat presence.
2. Away from the tourist traps.
3. Hopefully scenic.
4. Where we can access whatever cultural scene is available, ie music (classical or other), opera, theatre etc.
Based on our reading of Lonely Planet the following areas seem promising (in no particular order):
Larnaca & area
Pafos and area (not Kato Pafos, we think!)
Mesaoria Villages
Aramis Heights and Polis area
N Cyprus (suggestions re particular areas appreciated)
We would appreciate views and advice. Can anyone help please?
All replies appreciated.
