Living and Working in Cyprus

Greek and Turkish are the local languages in Cyprus, but many people in the tourist industry speak English, meaning work can be found in bars, restaurants, cafes etc. during the tourist season. The best places to look for seasonal work are in the busier tourist resort areas of Paphos, Limassol, Larnaca, Ayia Napa, Nissi Bay, Protaras and Latchi.

Various harvests throughout the year provide opportunities for work as fruit-pickers. Strawberry harvests take place between May and June, and November and December, Grapes are harvested between August and October and olives in the autumn. Most jobs of this kind can be found by asking around in person. Work may also be found in language schools teaching English in Cyprus.

Voluntary Job Opportunities In Cyprus can include conservation projects, working with people with disabilities, work camps and youth exchanges.
