Cyprus is a place you will certainly fall in love with, and believe me it will give you much more in return, which is why so many visitors wish their stay on the island to be as long as possible.
Although different from its Far Eastern namesake, it is sometimes described as the “Russian Island”. Perhaps their love of beauty accounts for why there are so many Russians in Cyprus.
Here is a home-away-from home, where the Russian language is spoken, traditional Russian cuisine is served in the restaurants, specialised stores sell your favourite, well known products, and you can feel totally at ease thanks to the many Russian cultural activities, social networks and, of course, Russian Radio; But first things first.
Russian products in Cyprus
Although, of course, there are a variety of delicious Cypriot delicacies, it’s quite normal to crave dumplings, or buckwheat with sausage. Even in 40° heat, who doesn’t dream about a Kvass? Well all of this can be found in Cyprus! Read more about the Russian product shops here.
Movies in Russian
Once the basic needs are met, it’s time to think about ‘spiritual food’. Thanks to the Russian diaspora you can now watch movies in Russian on the island! Being able to go to the cinema with the whole family is great for those with mixed Russian / Cypriot families, and a wonderful opportunity for young and single people to interact with each other.
