Post subject: | Cost of living in Paphos |
Would you please mind giving me an indication of your monthly outgoings? Nothing too specific, just so I can get an up to date guide to the current cost of certain things (It's four years since we were last in Cyprus). For instance: Electricity (I know this was our main expense) Telephone line with 24/7 broadband Comm/Coun tax (for one of the villages, say Kissonerga/Peyia) Water Car Ins/Tax (one small car/one 4x4) Med Ins (Two adults, no children. Late 40's) I have done searches but can't find anything specific without trawling through lots of posts - I know someone was keeping a spreadsheet, but can't find it! Thanks in advance. |

Hard to quantify really because everyone is different, but for us its along these lines: telephone - running about €80 - €100 a month because we make lots of calls to the uk Broadband - €42-75 from Holitec as we can't get Cyta BB here in our village Council Tax - €160 for the year Water - about €40-€50 for 6 months Car Insurance - about €320 for a Freelander 4x4 Electricity - very hard to quantify because we have had loads of people staying and they used prodigous amounts of aircon, but anywhere between €200 and €500 per two months - remember electricity has gone up 20% in the last year Medical Insurance - no idea as we don't have it Food and household stuff - €stupid - we average around €80 - €120 a week plus pet food from Youkays hope that helps chris |

Hello Chris, thank you that is very helpful. The water and council tax are cheaper than I remember (and a lot cheaper than UK) although the broadband and car insurance are more than I expected. I currently pay £75 a month for my landline phone - this includes Sky TV (full package), line rental, all calls and broadband 24/7. We have a Freelander - fully comp with Direct Line which is £25 per month. The electricity costs are as expected. So generally speaking I am budgeting correctly! Thanks again |
