Cyprus Cyprus, a charming island in the eastern Mediterranean basin.
With it's unique climate, culture, customs and cuisine, Cyprus offers
an extraordinary blend of east and west. Over the centuries, the island's
coveted geographical location has made it a melting pot of civilizations.
The people of Cyprus owe their individuality and warmth to the fact that they are the product of an amazingly colourful history. The island has proved irresistible to many famous historical personalities such as Cleopatra, Alexander the Great, Leonard da Vinci and Richard the Lion Heart. Perhaps that's why Cypriots have a special knack for making visitors feel at home as soon as they step off the plane or ship. That warm welcome, plus the unhurried pace of daily life, make Cyprus an instant favourite of anyone who goes there. As you can see, delight in having a good time is at the heart of the Cypriot personality. Observe the fun Cypriots have when they go out in large family groups to eat and drink, and you will see how important the lust for life is on this enchanted island. Get to know the people, and you will probably be invited back to a Cypriot home to enjoy a meal of meze. Then, you'll truly learn the meaning of the word "hospitality." Cyprus is deservedly called the "Island of Love." The island of Cyprus is a fascinating land of contrasts. Cyprus boasts some of the most advanced cities in the region, and yet, a stone's throw away, you can step back in history. Drop into almost any village tavern, or join the locals at a countryside market, and you will feel the atmosphere of a way of life that has essentially remained the same for centuries. The standard of living in Cyprus is excellent and the cost of living remarkably low considering the quality of life. A virtually pollution free environment and enviably low crime rates make the island a comfortable and stress-free place to reside. Cyprus is fortunate to have one of the most agreeable climates in Europe, with 11 out of 12 months a year enjoying brilliant sunshine. The warm dry summers stretch into a pleasant autumn season, and the short mild winter leads the way to the rebirth of nature in an enchanting springtime. During the six summer months, the sun shines for an average of 11.5 hours a day, and for approximately 6.5 hours during the cooler months of December and January. While snow is very rare on the central plain and coast, there is snowfall every year between December and March in areas over 1,000m above sea level. The higher slopes of the Troodos mountain range offer good skiing conditions for approximately six weeks a year. Sea temperatures exceed 22 degrees centigrade from June until November, reaching a maximum of 27 degrees centigrade in the height of summer. During the cooler months between January and March, average sea temperatures rarely fall below 16 or 17 degrees centigrade. We are currently marketing an expansive selection
of new and re- sale properties ranging from apartments, detached and semi-detached
terraced houses, bungalows and maisonettes and a wide selection of high
quality projects consisting of pre-designed detached and semi-detached
villas which are located in some of the most picturesque areas around
Paphos. |
