Paphos recognised as the city with the highest quality of life in Cyprus

Which city in Cyprus should I choose to live in? This is a question that is constantly debated, especially among expatriates.

Numbeo, the international online price comparison platform, has conducted a new study and found that Paphos is the place with the highest quality of life in Cyprus.

This is followed by Nicosia, Limassol and finally Larnaca. Moreover, all Cypriot cities have a significantly higher quality of life than the Greek cities of Athens and Thessaloniki.

It is worth noting that the Numbeo Quality of Life Index takes into account factors such as purchasing power, travel time, pollution levels, climate indicators and more.
