Cyprus is one of the large islands of the Eastern Mediterranean, known for its long beaches, olive and citrus groves, mountain villages and historic sites dating back thousands of years. Limassol, on the south coast, is a lively port city with a marina, a seafront promenade and a busy town centre. English is widely used in everyday life and business in Limassol.

It suits students who want to improve their English by the sea, in a warm climate and at a relaxed pace, and it is a frequent choice for short programmes and summer study.

With its Mediterranean food, warm climate and long evenings spent outdoors, Limassol offers students from Türkiye a familiar pace of life, which makes settling into a new city easier. Villages in the foothills of the Troodos Mountains and the ancient site of Kourion, both near Limassol, also make enjoyable weekend trips.
