Buying Property in Paphos

Where to buy property in Paphos

The southwestern part of Cyprus has a heritage dating back into ancient history – the goddess Aphrodite was reputedly born in the warm, blue waters around modern-day Paphos. It is, however, a relative newcomer to tourism and the overseas property market, only gaining popularity when its international airport opened in 1983. Consequently, property development in Paphos has been subject to strict guidelines and the resulting mix of modern properties in some unspoilt settings means prices of property for sale in Paphos are among the highest on the island

The town of Paphos has an appealing mixture of old charm and modern amenities. The harbour of Kato Paphos is the main holidaymaker’s area, with diverse international bars and restaurants, designer shops and high-quality accommodation. Ktim Paphos is the old town on the hill. For those looking for a more rural setting, there are a number of coastal and inland suburbs and villages located within just a few kilometres of Paphos that offer tranquil living but are still only minutes from the urban conveniences offered in the main town.

Further afield, Coral Bay lacks the antiquities and cultural attractions of its neighbour but it provides excellent modern facilities, a great beach and is a watersports fanatic’s haven. It’s a family-friendly resort, already popular with British property buyers. It’s also a great base for exploring some of the stunning and little-used coves further up the coast. Polis is a resort around 37 kilometres from Paphos itself and is a historic town now growing in popularity with holidaymakers, while retaining a tranquil and unspoilt air. It boasts some beautiful traditional properties as well as a Blue Flag beach.

The surrounding area is little known to visitors, its inland olive groves, vineyards and mountains providing a beautiful setting for the town itself, while small, undeveloped fishing villages dot the coastline. Paphos boasts three main golf developments at present, including the award-winning Aphrodite Hills project, one of the most exclusive addresses on the island.
