I would say some kind of rain spider??

A stunning spider, looks like the H.incei on the carapace.

Ok, looks like a wolf spider (Lycosidae).

Apparently they are quite common in Cyprus.

The only way to accurately ID that spider is by looking at its eye patterns. The rest of the guesses will either be utter BS or very lucky.

Doubt its Palystes sp Cascade. I tend to lean towards lycosidae, but as I said in my previous post, we need to see the eye patterns.

Most likely Lycosidae- Hogna lenta.
