Mountain living in Cyprus comes with so many benefits, and it’s particularly advantageous for your health.

Amazing benefits for the mind

When you live in the mountains, you’re sure of some amazing scenery and breath-taking views. Many mountain regions of Cyprus offer views right across the sea, utterly stunning. The mountain areas are never overcrowded, so you can live peacefully and privately, with plenty of space to enjoy your time with friends, family, or simply alone. It’s the perfect setting to ensure good mental wellbeing. Stress levels fall when you move to the mountains. It’s easy to relax, and there are some great opportunities to clear your mind with great walks and cycling routes close by.

Mountain living is great for your health

The air at this altitude is clean and free from pollution. You can just feel how fresh it is when you take a deep breath in. This is great for the health of your lungs, and particularly beneficial for anyone who suffers from asthma. Living in the mountains encourages a more active lifestyle, you’ll want to spend more time outdoors, and there are plenty of opportunities to do so. Hiking, skiing, rock climbing, mountain biking, it’s all available. You can certainly cancel your gym membership when you move to the Cyprus mountains, you have an endless natural gym right outside your door!   What’s more, studies show that living at altitude improves heart health and lowers blood pressure, reducing your risk of heart attack and stroke.

A whole new way of life

If you’re used to living in the city, the change of pace can take a little getting used to. While those living in the mountains may be as active as any city dwellers, there’s a calm to their demeanor. They may be busy, but they’re not rushing, mountain life doesn’t feel hectic. Life is just so much more enjoyable and that puts people in a good mood. This positive energy spreads throughout mountain communities, and you may have experienced this if you’ve ever visited the mountain villages of Cyprus on your trips to the island. A warm welcome from friendly locals is the way of life here. While you can attribute some of that hospitality to the warm nature of Cypriots in general, you’ll find the atmosphere particularly pleasant in the mountains and that’s to do with the magic of the mountains that puts your mind at ease, soothes your anxiety and simply makes people happier! It may sound far-fetched but there’s a lot of truth in it. You simply feel more positive when the air is fresh and your home offers breath-taking panoramic views.
