Moved here 1.5 years ago, mainly for the lower taxes and sunny island. There's cheap apartments available, but also more expensive high-quality luxurious ones. The old town has some nice bars. There's a lot of beautiful hikes to do, and fun activities like renting a quad and driving through Akamas or to Adonis Baths. Compared to Larnaka, Limassol and Nicosia, Paphos is less dense, more quiet and more of a family town. Cyprus changes quite a bit over the course of a year. It can be super green from February to April, and then the island dries up over the summer months where it barely rains. February - April are the perfect hiking months.

Quite expensive for such an ugly place. Weather in the winter is not that great...I'd go to Antalya/Kas or even Albanian coast if you need to be outside Schengen Zone in the winter and want something with a mild temp.

Cyprus is the best place to optimize you taxes as digital nomads. Many high-income remote entrepreneurs also spend 2 months a year in Paphos or Larnaca, and live a better life than in their home countries. My recommendation is to check this out, so many information on Google or Youtube ;)
