What is it like to retire in Kiti?

"Life for a retiree in Kiti is typically peaceful and relaxed, with a warm Mediterranean climate that is perfect for those who enjoy outdoor activities. The town is small and welcoming, with a strong sense of community. There is a significant expat community in Kiti, mainly from the UK, which is active and supportive. They often organize social events and activities, providing a great opportunity for retirees to meet new people and make friends. Culturally, Kiti is rich with history. The town is home to the Byzantine church of Panagia Angeloktisti, which is famous for its 6th-century mosaic of the Virgin Mary. There are also several other historical sites in the surrounding areas, including the ancient city of Kition and the Hala Sultan Tekke mosque, which are both a short drive away. For recreation, there are plenty of options. The nearby beaches are beautiful and perfect for swimming, sunbathing, or simply enjoying a leisurely walk. There are also several golf courses in the area, as well as opportunities for hiking and bird watching. The town itself has a number of shops, cafes, and restaurants, where retirees can enjoy a leisurely meal or a cup of coffee. Nightlife in Kiti is quiet and laid-back, reflecting the overall pace of life in the town. There are a few local taverns where residents can enjoy a drink and some traditional Cypriot music. For those who prefer a more vibrant nightlife, the city of Larnaca is just a short drive away and offers a wide range of bars, clubs, and restaurants. Overall, Kiti offers a relaxed and comfortable lifestyle for retirees, with a good balance of leisure activities, cultural attractions, and social opportunities," said a person in Kiti.
