The answer to this question is not easy at all, because this question should be examined from different aspects. Of course, before all these things, the choice between these two options depends on what you want. Do you have preferences and interests and what is your purpose in going to Cyprus? Cyprus is a small country that is divided into two northern and southern parts, the northern part is under the rule of Turkey and the southern part is under the rule of Greece.

Investment
According to the American economic magazine Forbes, the first coastal area for investment in 2021 was introduced to North Cyprus! Another reason that makes North Cyprus a better and safer place to invest is that in this country, investments are made in pounds, and in South Cyprus, in euros, and usually the value of investments in pounds is more in euros. Also, based on a study by one of the reliable sites called Live and Invest, in 2022 and 2023, North Cyprus was chosen as the fourth best country for retirees to choose for their post-retirement residence. The amount of buying and selling is higher in North Cyprus because its borders are open to all nationalities and it does not have the strict visa requirements of South Cyprus. Another important issue is that in North Cyprus you can appoint an heir for your property, but in South Cyprus you are not allowed to do so and the heir is the government of that country.

 

Buying necessities
Since the prices in North Cyprus are in Lira, then logically, the goods are much cheaper, because the prices in South Cyprus are in Euros, and this issue is very effective on pricing. Havadis newspaper has investigated 119 important goods in North and South Cyprus and as you may have guessed, 84 of these goods were cheaper in North Cyprus.

 

Tourism
In terms of tourism, South Cyprus is full of churches and ancient monuments, but North Cyprus is full of castles and mosques, in fact, it can be said that South Cyprus is a place that is useful for those who are looking for peace, and North Cyprus is a place for nature walkers, mountaineers and cyclists. 

 

Educational
If you are looking to study in some of the best and most prestigious universities in the world, North Cyprus is definitely the best choice for you, the universities of this country have high international rankings and the cost of studying in them is lower compared to their European counterparts. Education is done in English and they have a very valid certificate. In contrast to the universities of South Cyprus, they are not prominent and do not have an international rank.

 

Buying a car
In this regard, it should be said that the price of Japanese cars in North Cyprus is much cheaper than in South Cyprus, but in the case of other car brands, the prices in South Cyprus are a small percentage lower than in North Cyprus.

 

Culture
In Southern Cyprus, Christianity is the dominant religion because it is under the direct rule of Greece and the population is mainly Christians. But in Southern Cyprus, due to the rule of Turkey, the majority of the population are Muslims, who are mainly Sunnis and immigrants. Therefore, they are closer to Iranian culture, so it can be said that North Cyprus is considered a better choice for Iranians to immigrate.



As we said at the beginning of this article, it is absolutely impossible to say that South Cyprus or North Cyprus is better! This completely depends on your goals, lifestyle and interests.
