More Israelis moving to and investing in Cyprus amid insecurity in Israel

Growing numbers of Israelis are moving to and investing in the Republic of Cyprus, citing the volatile situation in Israel and insecurity after the October 7, 2023 attacks and the wars that followed. For many, the island is shifting from a holiday and investment destination to a place to settle permanently, and in some cases a "Plan B". Israelis who spoke to DW anonymously described buying homes, including in a large residential development in Limassol district, citing the 40-minute flight and the same landscape and climate.
