Only via apartments!

The Limassol beach front on the face of it has priced itsself out of the market certainly if a villa/ private house is on your radar as you can expect to pay upwards of 7M Euro for front row. Good news is that there are multiply luxury towers either under construction or with building permits issued that will offer front line views of the Limassol coastline.

Demand for built luxury property is driven by both Russsian and northern European buyers and the new casino.

Real Estate opportunites in Pafos are on the outskirts of the town and we recommend only front row prop- erties or luxury gated communities as the market for 2nd row and beyond is in over supply in the Pafos PAFOS region.
