What is the best way to prepare for a best-in-class workation in Cyprus?
If you're planning a several week workation in Cyprus, there are several important steps you should take to ensure that your stay is both productive and relaxing = successful.
Here is a list of the seven things you need to do to get ready:
Book accommodation: Choose suitable accommodation that offers both work and leisure options. In the member area of www.cyprus-workation.com we offer selected and verified offers for Workation guests, in addition to city flats also beautiful hotels by the sea and access to our WorkationHub in Larnaca.
Research working space: Look into local working spaces such as Office-Hub in Nicosia, the SOHO in Limassol or the new WorkationHub in Larnaca. These places not only provide a professional workspace but also networking opportunities with other remote workers.
Ensure technical setup: Check your technical equipment. Make sure you have a performing laptop, necessary meeting software, and possibly a mobile hotspot device to stay connected while on the go. And with a rental car, there are many more ways to explore the cities and landscapes than with the inter-city Green Line buses.
Plan Daily Routine: Set fixed working hours and schedule breaks to explore the surroundings or relax on the beach. A structured timetable helps you remain productive.
Organize Leisure Activities: Take the opportunity to discover the beauty of Cyprus. Enjoy plane trips to the beaches in the Ayia Napa region, explore the historical sites in Paphos, take advantage of the opportunity for beach sports, or simply indulge in the diverse Mediterranean cuisine at the various restaurants along the promenades of Larnaca and Limassol.
Obtain Travel Insurance: Remember to get travel insurance that covers both medical emergencies and potential trip cancellations. Check out the included insurances of your credit card as well.
Prepare for Local Conditions: Familiarize yourself with local customs, Holidays, the weather forecasts and the culture of Cyprus to enhance your experience. July is a particularly hot and humid month and the periods from March to June and from mid-August to November are much more pleasant for Central Europeans with long, warm evenings.
A personal tax tipp: If the employer mandates the Workation as training or business trip, then the travel costs to and from are always deductible, even if time off is added on.
