Paphos
Paphos, Cyprus: the weather, the air, the distance to the coast and what a month costs, each with its source. This page assesses no one.
This page describes the destination for nobody in particular. Answer a few questions and each requirement is set against your own answers, with a monthly budget for your household. Your answers stay in the address bar of your browser; nothing is stored.

Each cell: average daily high, monthly mean, average daily low, in °C. These are averages of daily values over 2001–2020, not records — the hottest day is higher and is not shown.
How near the sea is
1.4 km
Straight-line distance from this city’s coordinates to the nearest coastline, computed from Natural Earth 1:10m Physical Vectors — Coastline (ne_10m_coastline) v5.1.2 at 1:10,000,000. Natural Earth is public domain, and anyone can download the same file and get the same number.
It is a distance and not an access. A city 8 km from the coast across a mountain ridge is not 8 km from the sea in any sense you would use, and the figure says nothing about what is on that coast — a container terminal and a bay give the same number. The coastline is the outline of the dataset’s land, so a river wide enough to separate land counts as coast.

A month here, for a reference household
Reference household: two adults aged 38 and 37, a one-bedroom home, no children.
Residence fees and health cover are those of EU/EEA free movement (register within four months of arrival). The low, middle and high figures are the 25th, 50th and 75th percentiles where a publisher states them; each line says who published it.
illustrative Money figures on this page are illustrative unless the figure names its publisher. The illustrative ones are arranged so the shape is right — a larger flat costs more than a smaller one, and the expensive cities are the expensive ones — and they are accurate in nothing. Do not plan on them.
This comparison is wider than your screen — scroll it sideways to see the remaining columns.
| Line | P25The lower quartile of the estimate range: a quarter of observations fall below it. Read it as the cheaper end of what is realistic, not as a bargain you can count on. | P50The middle of the estimate range: half the observations fall below it and half above. It is the figure to read first — not a promise, but the most representative single number we have. | P75The upper quartile of the estimate range: a quarter of observations fall above it. Budget against this one if you want room to be wrong. | Basis |

The divisor counts the same household as the survey — people who share food arrangements — so the unit introduces no bias; only the two years differ. The district stands in for the city, and a child is charged the same as an adult.Published per year; shown per month (÷ 12).This is the survey’s average person. Food has strong economies of scale, and the publisher states one figure per person and no split by household size — so a larger household is charged here as though each member shopped alone.6,292 EUR a year per household (2023) ÷ 2.55 people per household (2021), both published by Statistical Service of Cyprus (CYSTAT); the household size is the publisher’s household statistic, which counts people who share a budget, as the survey does, not the survey’s own |
