Cyprus provides a fairly high, European level standard of
living. The annual per capita income is about $16000.
The overall cost of living averages about 1/3 to 2/3
of most parts of Europe, Japan, or the USA. A recent
international poll showed Cyprus towns to have one of
the lowest costs of living within a developed nation.
