Safety

Cyprus is generally a quiet and safe country. Apartments do not need high-security metal doors and you can even leave a car with open windows. People who run in the mornings often leave their belongings on the beach because no one will take them.

Locals

Cypriots are friendly and tolerant in the way they treat people from other countries. English is spoken widely, so it's easy to communicate. For some newbies it may seem suspicious that everyone around is always positive and smiling. If you have any kind of troubles be sure people around will help you immediately.

LIMASSOL

Limassol is a cozy in-shore town. The most "Russian" town of Cyprus, comfortable for living without much traffic and people.

The Limassol coastline boasts countless beaches and a bicycle path runs the entire length of the coast, so if you love to cycle you have the option to get to work on two wheels.

Public transport is not Limassol’s strong point. Luckily the Exness office is on a busy bus route.

You do not need deep knowledge of English. Here you can find Russian schools, kidnergardens, and in most hospitals you can find russian staff.

 Apartment rent

You can expect to pay upwards of 880 euros for a one bedroom apartment in a good area of Limassol. If you pay 1200 euros, you can rent a house with two bedrooms. The average rent for a nice apartment is around 770 euros per month. When you sign a rental contract you will have to pay 2 months rent upfront and a deposit for common expenses. For example, if you rent a one bedroom apartment for 700 euros, you will need to pay around 1600 euros when you sign the contract. The real estate agent will help to arrange the contract (the cost of the contract is covered by the landlord).
