Buying Property in Larnaca (Larnaka)

Where to buy property in Larnaca (Larnaka)

Larnaca is many visitors’ point of entry to Cyprus due to its international airport and its popularity as a cruise stop-off, and it has a solid reputation as a holiday destination. Buying property for sale in Larnaca has not been popular with overseas investors, despite some good facilities including its large marina and an array of historic treasures that befits one of the world’s oldest cities. Property prices in Larnaca reflect this, being around 20% less than the national average at present.

Perhaps its lack of natural beauty, compared to Limassol and Paphos, accounts for Larnaca’s underachievement as a property buyer’s destination to date? The area is set to undergo some major improvements, however, with a golf development and leisure facilities planned for nearby Tersefanou and a couple of the region’s eyesores, an oil refinery and cement works, may be removed in an effort to attract more residential investment to the area. Improvements to roads in the area in recent years have brought the city within convenient reach of rest of Cyprus.

Outside of the city itself, there are a number of inland villages and smaller coastal resorts in the region to tempt property buyers. Oroklini and Pyla have great views of the mountains and the sea and have, unsurprisingly, already caught the eye of foreign property buyers from the UK and northern Europe.

Kalavassos, around 35 kilometres to the west of Larnaca, is a picturesque hillside village where some understated new development is taking place and that will be within just half an hour of the proposed golf course. The village of Kiti and the nearby beach resort of Pervolia are gaining in popularity with tourists and locals alike.
