Larnaca nomad scores

A moderate Mediterranean budget remains plausible, but the furnished-housing input needs a fresh one-bedroom check. 1

Moderate-cost estimate retained provisionally; the furnished listing sample does not establish a currently available one-bedroom monthly stay.

Buses cost less than frequent taxis, but the monthly pass is relatively costly against several regional peers. 2
