onlycy reads as “only Cyprus”. That is the brief. One island, not a generic Mediterranean roundup, not Greece with different airports.
Cyprus is small on a map and large in paperwork. Two official languages, a divided capital, British plugs in many sockets, summer heat that is not a metaphor. Visitors come for beaches and ruins. A second group comes to stay: remote work, retirement, a company address, a house that looked cheap until the communal fees arrived. Those two groups share the island and almost none of the same questions.
This site starts with the shared layer. Where people actually land (Larnaca, Paphos, sometimes a hop via Athens). What “south” and “north” mean in a sentence that is trying not to start a fight. How far things are, once you leave the strip. Then the stay questions: residency talk, schools, the health system as a user meets it, whether a winter is really mild if your house has no heating. Property sits next to that, because every second conversation on the island turns into one.
We will not write as a relocation agency. We will not pretend the politics is a footnote. Adjacent topics (flights, tax, Greek or Turkish as a learner) get their own pages instead of being stuffed into one “guide”.
Driving on the left catches people who thought they knew Europe. So does August, when the coast is a different island from the one in January. Those are practical facts, not mood. They belong next to a map, not in a slogan.
A handful of sections and a log of notes are next. The homepage should tell you whether you are in the right place. If you wanted “only Cyprus”, you are.
