The Trouble with Cyprus: Which Side Should You Choose?
Want to live in Cyprus? Choose from blackouts and economic bailouts or improving infrastructure and investment.
Published in: Living in Cyprus - Wed, August 10, 2011
The trouble with Cyprus is that it’s so hard to find anything out about it that hasn’t been tainted by Greek or Turkish propaganda! The Greeks claim the North is a no-go area, a dump, a scary place…the Turks proclaim it to be a veritable paradise on earth – an untouched, unspoiled Mediterranean gem.
If you then add in the expats’ take on the island you get lots of whinging about the Greeks ripping British pensioners off in the south…and an estate agent’s view is that you couldn’t buy a better priced property anywhere in the world – north or south of the island.
So where does the truth lie? Has Southern Cyprus been turned into a ghetto following the munitions dump blast and subsequent power cuts? Is Northern Cyprus overrun by the Turkish army? If you want to live in an unarguably stunning part of the world and you’re considering moving to either side of Cyprus, allow us to tell you the truth.
