On the 3rd of April 2008 the barricade on world famous Ledra Street in Cyprus was demolished and a border crossing erected in its place. The barricade between the Greek and Turkish Cypriot parts of what was the main shopping street in Nicosia back in the days before the 1974 war in Cyprus, had been in place since 1964 and was seen as a physical representation of the barrier that still existed between peace and harmony in Cyprus.
Now, as a result of the demolition of the barricade it is easier than ever to be happily living in North Cyprus and shopping in South Cyprus! That’s not to say those living in TRNC should not support the local economy, but it is voicing a truth that it’s lovely to be able to pop to Starbucks or Debenhams for the occasional treat.

A recent survey commissioned by NatWest Bank relating to retiring abroad, the nation’s people favour for their overseas retirement and the reasons for considering leaving the UK behind revealed many interesting findings such as the fact that cost and standard of living are driving factors behind many would-be expatriate retirees’ thoughts about moving abroad when they retire.
Increasingly it is the most affordable yet attractive and secure nations in the world that attract expats in retirement, which is why this article is about the realities of retiring to North Cyprus. The entire island of Cyprus has strong appeal for British retirees in particular, but increasingly it is the northern third of the island where people are looking to find a higher standard of living for less when they give up work and begin drawing their pension income.

Did you know that Cyprus is carving out a niche for itself as a high-grade medical tourism destination? Which means that if you expatriate you will benefit from excellent medical care on your doorstep when living in Cyprus.
You can of course take out expatriate health insurance to ensure you never pay more than your excess for care and treatment – and you may very well be best advised to do so – but even if you don’t, you will find that medical care in Cyprus – both North and South of the Green Line - is highly affordable. In fact, medical care in southern Cyprus, about which this article is written, is up to five times more affordable than in the UK.

The beautiful Mediterranean waters, incredible sights and easy pace of life are just a few of the major attractions for living in Cyprus. This island nation is a favourite of holidaymakers, retirees and expatriates alike. With more than 1.5 million Brits visiting the country a year and some 65,000-plus calling it home, Cyprus is a popular destination. But, what can potential visitors and residents expect when they forgo the beaches in favour of hitting the open road?
Living in Cyprus and driving is quite an experience! According to the British Foreign & Commonwealth Office, the undertaking comes with some major precautions. Cyprus is, after all, not the UK. It does not have its roadway system and its strict licensing and driving requirements. In this article, we’ll explore what you will need to know about driving in Cyprus.
