Cyprus

Lifestyle & Language

It’s easy to do business – and enjoy it! – in an environment where hospitality is combined with professionalism.

The Cypriots have managed to blend age-old traditions with modern trends. Like anywhere else, the rural regions hold on to the traditions of the past, while urban areas keep up with the latest developments.

In the villages you can still experience a slower pace of life, the love of nature, and a respect for traditions and customs.

In the cities, a cosmopolitan air prevails, as shopping and entertainment facilities develop at an unprecedented rate. But wherever you are, you are bound to experience the deep-rooted Cyprus hospitality that is known around the world.
 

  Visitors will particularly appreciate the fact that, although the official language is Greek, English is widely spoken and universally understood, and signs are always bilingual. Public and private organisations that deal with tourism or the international market usually employ multilingual staff, and visitors are often impressed to find themselves able to communicate with the Cypriots not only in English, but also in French, German, Italian and Russian.
