Financial Access to Holidays Remains Challenging for Cypriots

July 31, 2026

According to Eurostat, 27.6% of Cypriots cannot afford a week's holiday away from home. This figure has improved compared to previous years, yet it still means that roughly three out of ten residents lack this opportunity. Internationally, countries like Romania and Greece exhibit higher percentages of financial inability. The rising cost of living and prices for essential services continue to pose challenges for many households. While progress has been made, economic disparities remain evident.
