Buying Property in Limassol

Where to buy property in Limassol

Overseas property buyers have long been aware of Limassol, Cyprus’s second-largest city, with around 200,000 inhabitants. It’s a highly developed and cosmopolitan city with all the modern trappings one would expect, as well as a number of archaeological sites and historical places of interest. As well as a range of shops, bars and restaurants, there’s a choice of beaches to enjoy along 32 kilometres of seafront. There’s a significant foreign population here already due to the city’s importance as a commercial centre as well as the lure of its marina and nearby golf courses.

Property buyers looking for rural property for sale in Limassol will also be interested, as it’s possible to find secluded property in Limassol in the villages around the city yet still be within easy striking distance of the city’s amenities. Property will tend to be in the traditional local style or purpose-built villas, as opposed to apartment complexes. Laneia and Souni have attracted discerning foreign property buyers due to their beautiful surroundings and views, but there are numerous other villages offering tranquil living hereabouts.

West of Limassol lies the Akrotiri Peninsula, with one of the island’s best beaches, Lady’s Mile Beach, and the Akrotiri Salt Lake, where flocks of migrating flamingos come to roost in winter. Some 20 kilometres east of Limassol is Pissouri Bay, another popular destination for overseas property buyers thanks to a combination of tasteful development and great views and beaches.

Just inland from Limassol lie the Troodos Mountains, the highest point of the island and a fantastic scenic area whatever the season, renowned for its monastries, hiking trails and wealth of flora and fauna. There are vineyards and olive groves scattered around the foothills and there’s even skiing in the winter when the highest peak, Mount Olympus, becomes snowcapped. All this, just an hour from the beach!
