Housing & accommodation
Limassol is a popular coastal city — start your search as soon as you receive your Acceptance Letter.
Option 1
Apollonia Students Halls
- Affordable & modern — built in 2020, with rents well below the private market.
- Dedicated transport — two city buses between the Halls and campus, with routes extended at night.
- Apply early — limited capacity, allocated by application date. Submit the housing form as soon as your mobility is confirmed.
Option 2
Private accommodation
- Local Facebook groups and websites dedicated to Erasmus housing in Limassol.
- Average rent €400–€650/month for a room in a shared apartment.
- Check whether utility bills are included; a one-month refundable deposit is standard.
