@@Rico yeah, funny especially since I literally said on Saturday evening at 9pm "oh no, I forgot to get my groceries now I got to starve till monday" 😂
One of Cyprus's greatest treasures that nobody mentions is Commanderia. It's a rich red wine with a history traceable to the crusades in the 12th century. Very enjoyable with cheese and crackers after dinner.
If you see a building with steel rods sticking through the top this is because VAT at 19% is payable on a new property only when the building is finished. These rods are for the next floor that has yet to be built. It's called Tax avoidance and is legal. Even if you build the the next floor the process can be repeated.
Nach ein paar Monaten Zypern hat man sich daran wunderbar gewöhnt. Gutes Video, vor allem die Qualität der Aufnahmen sind richtig gut geworden. Beste Grüße!
Das stimmt. Habt ihr euch auch schon an die Hitze gewöhnt? Ich finde, die härtet ab. Ich bin gerade in DE und finde es hier frisch, während jeder sagt, dass es heiß sein soll, haha. Danke für das Kompliment, bleibt auch dran und bis bald! :)
@@Rico Ich finde das mit der Hitze weniger schlimm, als den kalten Winter in Deutschland, aber das nimmt ja jeder unterschiedlich war. Wenn es zu warm wird, machen wir ein wenig die Klima an oder gehen in den Pool. Alleine das ist für uns ein Lifestyle. Wie ist es für dich? Du bist jetzt zum abkühlen nach Deutschland? :D
@@MarcMelissa Da stimme ich absolut zu. In unserer jetzigen Wohnung haben wir leider keinen Pool, aber wir ziehen zum Jahresende wieder weg und da muss und wird wieder ein Pool dabei sein. :) Ich bin noch bis nächste Woche in DE ein paar Sachen erledigen und dann komme ich wieder 🏝️
Nice Vlog, Ricco! Yeah Paphos and outskirts are my favorites on the island. Limassol is a hopping place but it’s quieter in Paphos and more relaxed. Not to mention the awesome amount of historical sites that are within the town. The other maybe weird thing is the amount of weddings that take place. Since many people know each other, the locals feel obligated to attend weddings and giving out money or gifts. They have to budget for that each year. Well maybe not a weird thing, but certainly it’s the generosity of the Cypriot people
Hey Andre, thank you. Yeah, I agree with you, that's why I moved to Paphos and feel very good here. And yes, I know it from first hand, my accountant also attends so many weddings, and they really put a lot of effort into that.
Hey, Rico, in Brasil and Latin America as well, there is always a work to fill up the tank for you in gas stations! But there will no be in the future! I like your video and your English is very clear!
We was in Cyprus febuary first time stayed in paphos it seemed very English there as in drive in sane side a lot of English shops and people was amazing and so nice to you loved it and will be back next febuary next destination in august fuerta Ventura 🌞🌞😁😁
Hi great channel! :) I am joining the Cypress party next year. Your channel helps me a lot because you provide useful information without bloviating :)
Hello, Rico! I was recently in Limassol, but also visited Paphos. It was gorgeous!me and my familly would like to move in Paphos...what advice do u have concerning work places there?
Hey there! Nice to hear from you and I'm sure you loved it. For the job market I can't say very much, as I'm working online, but I'm sure there are many opportunities. I wish you the best!
Some of the things you talked about dear Rico,,are simply awful, the fireworks, the overbuilding ,I wish they woud put an end to all this! As far as the heat,,,,I suggest to all the friends wanting to visit Cyprus to do it in October :) Maybe the best time of the year , still warm,,,the seawater is also warm and not thousands of tourists everywhere:) xx
I can confirm Rico is right about how hot it is in Paphos in August, having just returned to the UK from there! A great vlog Ricco - really interesting info and v useful - thank you
When you say we all the time it shows how much you love the island and we need more people like you. Keep up! Also you can export cats yo Germany amd get super rich 😂
Hi rico hope your great mate everything that you mentioned in this video is my everyday life in malta 😂 i guess i we wont change a lot haha. we sorted dates finally and will be coming beg september 🙌 we will start from larnaca going up first month or two. I hope i'll see you around mate 🙂🤙
Hey mate! I know so many people moving from Malta to CY. Interesting! You'll definitely see me around in Paphos. Excited to talk to you! Enjoy your time and good move! :)
No Cyprus isn't clean ,many places are dirty full of trash plastic , there are so many bad damaged roads , no sidewalks, and it's full of messy buildings, the cities are so ugly ,no trees, no parks , the only beautiful thing are the cats and the beaches here, nothing else
Fireworks are a pest, here in Limassol it is every single night i'm not talking Sat and Sun arseholes in Limassol are ding it every single night and we don't live in the tourist area
Reference the buildings, the Golden Visa thing is well out of it, there was a problem when the banks closed we have had this for decades there are buildings all over Cyprus that are half finished for over 30 years so the golden visa wasn't here then
"Everything is open every day" My experience is exactly the opposite to be honest. Not only everything is closed on Sundays and very often Saturdays but Wednesday is also a short day for many stores and companies.
Hello.i can say only you should check place before you go there,driving on other side not like in Europe is not weird and is not uniqe.Also in Malta is same style od driving,well about petrol stations ...I will say is kind of SERVICE to clients.Why? Because how you say is not Germany-germany dont need to make "fight" for every clients who pass by..Different between germany and cyprus is that there on cyprus you dont have any other source of money-only tourists.There is not fabricks or industrys.Germany have 700% bigger productions and selling-have mercedes,have bmw (which is world wide selling) so is perfect source to get money from.And much more other productions.On cyprus you dont have this so people are living only from tourists,which come and buy product fuel what you talking about.And is nice...Emagine is rainy day,you driving thru Cyprus and you need petrol so you stop on petrol station and you literally dont have to move even with finger or get out from car,because there is somebody out there who will put fuel instead of you.. Excellent service.Who give better service to tourist is winner.This is "a Fight" for every penny lets say..Reason why so many cats are on island is also for purpose to get clients respectively tourists-cyprus is very hot country and very little people knew the climat is actually similar to desert climat and there is chance to see snakes and lot of them,well cats are killer of snakes-so more cats around your hotel or residence means more safety for residential people(tourist)..And fire works is like every where sign of celebrating and it give nice feels especially if you are tourist-it give positive and nice feelings to return to this place once you are on holidays over here on Cyprus.All because the only and only 1 source of money to take from are tourists-only import system no export.what germany have a lot.In finale is not weird-just for people who have everything ready and dont know that situation what to do tomorrow without money is weird and not understandable..regard
They are not weird things , like the service on the petrol station , it is called service not weird. Try to enjoy and I hope it will never be like Germany , if it will be like Germany I will run away , the guy who is working in the Petrol station is making money so give him tips and wish him luck instead of calling it weird thing. I hope you choose better words in the coming videos .in Germany you come to the restaurant , you pay money and for a while they won’t even give you what you want , this is weird. Service is horrible in Germany . If I will make video about weird things in Germany , I guess I need years to finish the list
No way, i live here for a year and never knew grocery stores are open on sundays. Thats amazing 😂
Haha, that's so funny. In the beginning, I think I also didn't realize it immediately. But it's good to know, right? :D
@@Rico yeah, funny especially since I literally said on Saturday evening at 9pm "oh no, I forgot to get my groceries now I got to starve till monday" 😂
@@dotastillthebest5474 Haha, or going to a restaurant 😆 Do you enjoy your Cyprus Lifestyle in general? You're in Paphos too, right?
Lived there a year and never knew everything is open on a Sunday…you need to get out more.

Greeks drink it at funerals and communion at church,not for cheese
@@mikeymike1854 I won't disagree but I'm English and have never been to a Greek Funeral. I routinely enjoyed it chilled after dinner.

Another good interesting video. Thanks :) I feel like I know Cyprus from your videos
Good to know, that's my goal with the channel. Thanks! :)
Cyprus has everything!

I am excited about moving or Cyprus 🥳🥳🥳Thank you for all the videos
Happy to hear that, all the best for your move. You are welcome! :)
Simple and always interesting! I love those viedeos ;)
That makes me happy, with time I learn what people like to enjoy, so it's super cool to have such an active community. Thank you David! :)
Hey, Rico, in Brasil and Latin America as well, there is always a work to fill up the tank for you in gas stations! But there will no be in the future! I like your video and your English is very clear!
thanks Rico, keep it up
Thank you for your comment, Jeroen. I really appreciate it :)
Yes, I was relieved to see the driving was the same side as the UK; making one aspect of the transition easier! lol.
Thanks again for a great video.
For UK people the transition is much easier, that's true. Happy you like the videos! :)
Very good images, what camera and microphone do you use?
Thank you! I use the Sony A6500 camera and the Shure SM7B as my studio microphone and when I am outdoor, I use the Rode Wireless Go.
Ty for your nice video!:)

@@Rico Thank you, so far all good! This heat is very comfortable, we are waiting August to feel real heat!
@@Dream4Design Agree, it's gonna be a bit hotter and more humid, but last year it was not a big problem for me either.

the first domesticated cats were in Cyprus in 10,000 BC
I love Cyprus unconditionally
Wow now I know thank you!
Sooooo happy to hear Cyprus is a good home for you :)
Oh yes, I'm also very happy and even more happy that people enjoy watching when I make videos about it. Thanks! :)

Ive been living in cyprus for a month and I noticed almost no one uses the blinkers on their cars 😂
True, haha!
i find everything closed on weekends
This is really like Malta but looks cleaner
I hear this a lot! :)
No Cyprus isn't clean ,many places are dirty full of trash plastic , there are so many bad damaged roads , no sidewalks, and it's full of messy buildings, the cities are so ugly ,no trees, no parks , the only beautiful thing are the cats and the beaches here, nothing else
I did a video on why cyprus is having so many stray cats 🐈 and so many cats museum you can visit.
Fireworks are a pest, here in Limassol it is every single night i'm not talking Sat and Sun arseholes in Limassol are ding it every single night and we don't live in the tourist area
Reference the buildings, the Golden Visa thing is well out of it, there was a problem when the banks closed we have had this for decades there are buildings all over Cyprus that are half finished for over 30 years so the golden visa wasn't here then
The Dryiness, Fireworks, cats, shopping and Religion is exactly like Malta
You driving my routes lol
I'm surprised to didn't mention " not allowed to put toilet paper down the toilet" disgusting!
Haha, that's actually a very good one. I should've added it.
Bro intoxication medicine available Cyprus
The weirdest thing about this video is a German saying Have a nice day!
None of the point was weird, all are very common in India as well, except that Cats are less in India, you will find dogs, and some cows as well.
Ah ha Roundabouts
Everything is weird to this guy. Even the weather! Lololol he finds it weird that it's hot and dry in the summer. Bit of a weirdo! 😂
Hi Rico. Is not incommon for us. I am from Paphos and I am now living in Switzerland and I found uncommon the oppoaite things.

"Everything is open every day"

The Cyprus people are terrible drivers .be extra careful when you go out. Expect someone to run into your new car
Cats a pest, but eh, cats were introduced to Cyprus by King Richard to keep down the snakes

Nothing weird at all
