It gathers 15 testimonies from students who spent their exchange in the Cypriot capital between 2018 and 2024. The reviews describe a city with a unique history, being divided by the Green Line (with a Greek Cypriot sector to the south and a Turkish Cypriot sector to the north via the Ledra Street pedestrian crossing), highlighting the mild climate and local hospitality. Everyone agrees on pointing out the limitations of urban public transport and recommends renting or sharing a car to travel around the island and visit the beaches of Larnaca or Ayia Napa. They indicate that rent is around 300 to 450 euros, warning of the expensive electricity bill due to air conditioning.

Foro Erasmus Nicosia, Chipre | Erasmusu.com
An exchange space structured by academic years from 2016 to 2026 where admitted students resolve doubts before traveling. The most recurring topics revolve around the pressing need to rent a vehicle to avoid being isolated, the differences in location between universities (University of Nicosia in Engomi versus UCY or European University), and the search for flatmates to reduce costs. Supermarket prices and the island's nightlife are also debated. It is very useful for Spanish students to bond before departure, although most members end up coordinating afterwards through private messaging groups.
