Weather through the year
Loading weather history…
Monthly averages from 2016–2025, from Open-Meteo historical weather data (ERA5 reanalysis). Rain totals from weather models can run high in mountain cities, so treat them as a guide to the wet and dry seasons.
Where to live
Finikoudes
Palm-lined seafront in the center.
Mackenzie
Beach bars near the airport.
Oroklini
Quieter village outside town.
Our plans match neighborhoods to how you work, your budget and who's moving with you.
Getting around
Compact seafront and buses; a car helps beyond town.
Language and English
Widely spoken; road signs and most services are in English as well as Greek.
Healthcare
Cyprus has a national health system (GeSY) for residents and good private clinics; nomad visa holders need private insurance.
Safety
Check the US State Department's current advisory for Cyprus before you go. It changes, so we link to it rather than copy it. Like any big city, Larnaca has areas that are safer than others, and your plan flags the ones to know about.
Your first week in Larnaca
Land with people, not just a lease.
With a Complete or Household plan, you join everyone moving to Larnaca the same month in a group chat before you fly, then meet in person during your first week.
