If you’re looking for a warm climate, beautiful beaches, delicious cuisine and a slower pace of life, then Cyprus could be the ideal place to look for a holiday home escape, or even your forever home! Cyprus is very popular with holidaymakers and expats from all over Europe and it’s easy to see why.
But with so many great areas to choose from on the island, where are the best places to buy a holiday home?
Larnaca
For a traditional and authentic Cypriot lifestyle, Larnaca is the place to choose. An old port town, life here is slower than in other parts of the island, with slightly lower tourism and generally a little more peace and quiet. Take a sunny stroll along the Finikoudes boardwalk and then relax on the beach, or spend some time visiting the town’s ancient monuments.
Despite the slow pace and quiet surroundings, the town is still great for transport links. Larnaca international airport will get you to and from your new holiday home in no time.
Paphos
Paphos has a well-established expat community and continues to be a firm favourite for those buying a property in Cyprus. Featuring a stunningly beautiful harbour, a quaint old town with winding cobbled streets and pretty colonial buildings, you can experience a taste of everything in Paphos. You can also enjoy a range of beaches here and in the surrounding area, from long stretches of golden sand to quiet coves.
Nicosia
The island’s capital, Nicosia, is full of rich history and wonderful architecture, which serves as a reflection of the country’s diverse past. A walled medieval town, it’s also buzzing with modernity and life, with a vibrant café and bar scene and plenty of shops and restaurants. This city is usually the prime choice for anyone who wishes to move to Cyprus to live and work.
Although Nicosia isn’t on the coast, the beach is only 50km away, so you can easily take a trip whenever you fancy.
Limassol
Another place that’s popular with expats, Limassol is a great option for a holiday home or relocation. A buzzing city with plenty to do, it balances the modern with the traditional. Take a walk along the sleek marina or visit the site of the ancient city of Amathus, spend the day on a blue flag beach or experience a Limassol meze (a sitdown meal of numerous small courses). Limassol is well connected and not far from both Larnaca and Paphos airports.
Many areas in Cyprus offer the perfect place for your sunny holiday home escape, combing great amenities, beautiful surroundings and warm weather. So, why not take a look at properties on offer at the moment? This could be the best time to take the plunge and buy!
