Field notes
Cyprus's commercial centre — denser than Nicosia and on the south coast. The Cyprus Digital Nomad Visa launched in 2021 (€3,500/mo income, 1-year + 2-year extension), and Cyprus joined Schengen in 2025, which reset the math for circuit-runners. Russian-speaking community is large (Limassol has been called "Limassolgrad" since the 1990s, with another wave post-2022). Old Town and Neapoli are the dense walkable cores; Germasogeia is the beach-residential alternative. The structural draw is year-round-warm Mediterranean sea and EU paperwork; the trade-off is meaningfully pricier than mainland Greece or Cyprus's interior.
