I dont know what will be in future,but around 80% of pleople who work in hotels and restaurants,get 900-1000e salary. And rents are 900-1500e.
Soon all european will leave the island,already more then 50% they left.

I think some of the prices are over rated I spend less than these Shop around can get good prices from local farmers especially if you use them on a regular basis

I'll be traveling to Cyprus soon and hope the information is kinda accurate.
I know the fact that the rent expenses vary every couple of seasons, so that will be a challenge :3
Thank you for the information!

Data for rent is extremely outdated here, due to recent influx of immigration it's closer to Limassol levels now (€700-1.2k). Overall rent is spiking all over Cyprus, there's more tenants than properties available.
