Infrastructure needs to improve to attract more senior citizens to Cyprus

There is no question that this target group is one to aim for but there seems to be no real consideration of what this demographic would expect in exchange for the money and thought of where it is already available and far superior elsewhere.

How about: smooth decent pavements in towns and villages unblocked by vehicles, clean pavements unlittered by dog crap and other rubbish, comfortable seating even if only stopping for a coffee, genuine welcome and consideration by business owners and workers, value for money, clean easy access public transport etc.

Much of the above can be found in small pockets all over Cyprus but regretfully there is far too much of the other that few seem inclined to address. The grey/silver pound community have generally worked far too long and hard to waste their disposable income in Cyprus when there are so many other destinations that provide significantly better quality and welcome already.

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
