Hi me and my wife are looking at relocating to cyprus and we were just wondering where the best places are to live and get work in cyprus? we would like to be near expats if possible as think this mite be easier for us to settle if we have english speaking people to blend with, any advise would be helpful.. we particularly love the protaras area but is there many jobs there or would it be better to look elsewhere in cyprus? thanks...

A brave move to start with but should you do it and there are no restrictions on work the place to be is Pafos as there is a very big expat presense there and property prices are at least half of those in other major cities.
