Not for many jobs. English is the everyday working language in hotels and tourism, in international companies in Limassol, Larnaca and Nicosia, in IT, shipping and finance, and in a large part of customer service.
Greek is usually required where you serve local customers or deal with paperwork in Greek: shops, local offices, accounting, the public sector, healthcare and teaching. Russian helps in Limassol and in some hotels and shops.
- Each vacancy on CyprusJobs.eu lists the languages the employer asked for.
