In our experience working with businesses across Cyprus, we’ve observed a concerning trend: many establishments, particularly bars and restaurants, lack a dedicated website. While these businesses may maintain active social media profiles, the absence of a professional website can significantly hinder their growth and customer engagement.​
The Digital Landscape in Cyprus
Understanding the digital habits of Cypriots is crucial. As of early 2025, approximately 94.7% of the population, equating to about 1.29 million individuals, are active internet users. Moreover, there are 2.53 million cellular mobile connections, indicating a high degree of mobile internet usage. ​Contentworks+2DataReportal – Global Digital Insights+2DataReportal – Global Digital Insights+2
Social media platforms are also deeply integrated into daily life, with around 828,000 active users, representing 60.7% of the population. Notably, 77% of these users access social media via mobile devices. However, despite this high engagement, a significant portion of businesses still lack a dedicated online presence.​ScienceDirect+2DataReportal – Global Digital Insights+2Contentworks+2Contentworks
