Indie hackers meetup in Cyprus 🇨🇾 today.
It feels like Bali in Europe. Everybody is vibe coding something and going to the gym. People are coming from all over Europe and Cyprus locals are super welcoming.
I also go to meet my hero @alexwestco who wrote amazing free books about the entrepreneurship roller coaster.
@dudufolio said it’s the Silicon Valley of Europe and I can see this happening. Talents are leaving northern Europe because of high taxes and complicated rules, and Cyprus is the perfect place to crash. Very interesting to see!

I just moved to Cyprus 🇨🇾 My first impressions and why I moved: > it's safe (unlike rest of Europe) > friendly people (unlike rest of Europe) > quiet > clean air > fast WiFi > tax friendly > great coffee > amazing food > very walkable > incredible weather > affordable (€2 for coffee, €7 for meal) > great laptop cafe culture (unlike rest of Europe) > growing tech scene (unlike rest of Europe) It's been so long since I had somewhere I could lock in from and call home. I was torn between UAE and Cyprus but the last month made my decision for me. And so far I am so happy with my decision.

i've lived in cyprus for the last 5 years
here's my (more nuanced) view of pros and cons:
the pros:
1. people are insanely friendly. people genuinely talk to you in cafes and everyone is SUPER sweet to our baby
2. tax status is the best option in europe, both in terms of tax rate and flexibility (you only need to be there 60days/year)
3. weather is elite from april - june and september - december
4. there are few distractions, it's a great place to lock in, work out and work (but more in the cons section..)
5. living costs are decent (though been rising A LOT).
6. growing expat community (mainly germans in paphos, more russians in limassol)
7. slowly growing availability of organic food sources (still in its infancy tohugh)
8. pro business mindset (compared to other european countries, not to US lol)
9. I love the sea in cyprus (great colour and very clear!) , and they also have mountains too hike in troodos mountains
10. easy and fast to get any doctors appointment (and cheap!)
11. very safe, I would always leave my backpack with my car keys out in the open while swimming etc. low crime rate is awesome.
12. everyone speaks english! and very well.
now let's get to the cons:
1. it's very hard to maintain friendships with the expats because MANY of them will be traveling outside of cyprus for 70% of the year. I personally want a place where most peopel stay permanently, not only a couple of months. It's ok if your 24 and nomading (which im not).
2. the sun is extreme in juli, august. especially with a small child thats kinda fucked and hard to navigate (UV index 12...)
3. it often still feels like 2018. in a good AND a bad way. there's not much to do compared to other places where I lived before.
4. you need a car (despite what people been telling you on X). sidewalks are often times fucked up, especially if you are pushing a stroller around
5. culture, music, art scene is extremely small. I love these things so it does matter to me.
6. there is no real big city in cyprus. something i'm genuinely missing
7. there's close to 0 significant companies here, no good events, tech ecosystem is very very small (despite what people try to tell you on here). on a world scale, cyprus doesn't matter at all
8. a lot of "entrepreneurs" coming here are coaches or actually employed to someone. I have met 10x more interesting entrepreneurs in big european cities in a days vs in 6 months in cyprus. there are some but it's far from a "tech hub". might be skill issue on my end lol
9. there's a lot of dodgy shit going on with casinos, russian money in cyprus. but I guess that happens in many countries
10. its an island, so everything needs to get imported. many shops don't ship to cyprus. there is no amazon (only if you order from a different country + pay the shipping
11. cyprus is very far away from the pulse of culture, it mostly feels like every trend is happening 5 years later here
12. lots of mold in almost EVERY house. cheap build quality and a lot of cookie cutter ugly investment properties
13. very close to the wars in the middle east
14. there no great architecture in any city
my tldr:
we're looking at other options in europe right now, but we might stay here and just move to limassol
but a kind of house I want is probably 6-9k/month so it's expensive af there (over 2x-3x from paphos)
personally, I mainly miss the vibe and drive of a more metropolitan city
but that's just me!
the main factor I don't like is how so many people only stay a couple of months in cyprus, making it hard to compound and friendships
but people like @marclou moving here def make me want to stay more :D

Cyprus is becoming the default European base for globally mobile families. And most people are still sleeping on it.
Here's why.
15% corporate tax. A 17-year non-dom regime, i.e. no tax on foreign dividends or interest with just 60 days of presence. No wealth tax. No inheritance tax. English everywhere. British common law.
340 days of sunshine. Direct flights to London, Dubai, and most of Europe. Affordable, high-quality healthcare. International schools in every major city.
And the residency paths keep getting better:
- Digital nomad visa from €3,500/month, up to 3 years
- €300K in real estate gets you permanent residency
- EU citizenship after 7 years
- Fast-track citizenship in under 5 years for skilled tech professionals
No other European country gives you this combination at this price point.
The biggest criticism: "it's boring." But as other destinations tighten tax regimes and raise the bar on residency, Cyprus only gets more attractive.
I've been saying this before it was obvious. 80% of families looking for a European base will seriously consider Cyprus in the next few years, if they haven't already. Bookmark this and check back.
Living there or looked into it? What surprised you most, good or bad?
