I am retired teacher and need advice. I need a n environment of expats for social contact, billiard etc. Since most probably i am going to stay there alone the first years. Which city to choose? Limassol, Paphos or Larnaca maybe even Nicosia? And next step. Where in that city? I mean is there an expat suburb or apartment building where many expats stay?

There is a thriving expat community in Kyrenia and several nearby villages. Well worth considering. Rents much cheaper too.

You should give Nicosia a hard pass. If it weren't for the kids school, we would live near Paphos or Larnaca.
