I often think that I’m not really enjoying the best that Cyprus has to offer in terms of living arrangements. Nothing wrong with my house, of course. It’s quite spacious and ideally located close to the city centre.
However, before I moved from London, I imagined what it would mean to live close to the sea. Obviously I knew Nicosia does not have a beachfront, but I was sure that I would have plenty of time to go to the beach or simply walk the promenades of Larnaca or Limassol.
Reality, however, soon kicked in and days at the sea are now confined to the weekend, as they are for most people. That said, I did not expect to fall in love with the capital’s old town, its narrow alleys, its Levantine feel and, of course, its many restaurants and taverns.
