    Hi, I like your videos! I’m moving to Cyprus around September would like to meet likeminded people.
    - How is the influence of Greece language in Cyprus. Can you go by on just English?
    - How cold dos it get in winter?
    - Where is the places to meet entrepreneurs, for networking?
    - What is the best local bank?
    - How does Amazon works in Cyprus?
    - How does in general buying and shipping online packages to Cyprus work, compare to a bigger EU country?
    Thanks:)

    • @sogomonyan1949

      - you can get by with English in most places
      - pretty warm, 10-16C
      - because of COVID it’s hard to say about networking at the moment..
      - there are plenty of choices, I’ve got Bank of Cyprus account, pretty happy with it
      - Amazon works fine, not as fast as in UK or Germany with prime, but there are rumours that there will be an Amazon office opening in Cyprus soon. The negative is that you have to go to the post office to pick it up.
      ASOS comes quick and to your door 😉

      Agree with everything you said. Only thing I want to add is that for meetups there is a weekly entrepreneurial meeting in Paphos, and we're 20-40 people each week, from all over the world. Feel free to join us and ask more questions if you have any! :)

      In the past 2 years I never had internet issues and I lived in many Airbnbs and visited many friends. And when I want highspeed internet, I just go to the Coworking space.

      This has become a major issue unfortunately, but seems to be more prevailent in isolated areas. You may have seen on the news a certain village facing crisis after an influx of illegal immigrants residing in the area. I wouldn't be too put off by it, as even as a young woman myself who moved to cyprus I've never felt very threatened. There are measures you can take to protect your property for ease of mind, there are a lot of security companies and you would do well to research specific areas that you're interested in moving to.
