Field notes

Cyprus's south-coast airport city — the country's main flight-arrival hub and a long-running expat anchor. The Finikoudes seafront promenade, Larnaca Salt Lake (with Hala Sultan Tekke mosque), and the Old Town (the dense walkable historic core) are the typical nomad neighborhoods. Same Cyprus DNV as Limassol/Nicosia (€3,500/mo income, 1-year + 2-year extension); Schengen since 2025. The structural draws are the cheapest Cypriot major-city rents, year-round-mild Mediterranean climate (sea swimmable May–November), and direct flight access (Larnaca International is the country's primary airport).

Mediterranean (Cyprus south coast) — virtually identical climate to Limassol with similar long Mediterranean swimmable-sea windows. Winter (December–February, 12–14°C average) is mild and the rainiest stretch. Summer (June–August, 25–28°C average, peaks above 35°C inland) is hot and dry. Spring (March–May) and autumn (September–November) are the cleanest shoulder windows.
