This part of Cyprus was once the agricultural heartland and still provides the bulk of the potato crop, which thrives in the distinctive red soil. In the last 20 years pockets of the coastal region of the Island have been developed and stylish resorts have evolved in what were once small fishing villages.
For some, Larnaca City is never seen; the majority of tourists fly in and drive out of this most cosmopolitan City. Designer shops and swish restaurants are abundant. Larnaka City is currently undergoing huge investment in both their coastal regions and in their infrastructure. Larnaca Airport is currently undergoing expansion which will allow more visitors to this end of the island The Marina in Larnaca is also undergoing vast expansion to accommodate cruise liners and harbouring for the larger private vessels.
Larnaca is also in the process of creating its first 18 hole PGA Golf Course; this will undoubtedly add a considerable amount of value to property in the area. Property in this region of the Island is remarkably good value and capital growth remains at 20%.
The region has a selective clientele, for those seeking the natural unspoilt beauty of the Island and the Cypriot way of life. For those seeking the traditional holiday environment of Sun Sea and Sand, with all the trappings, Protaras and Agia Napa is never more than 25 minute drive away. Must see sights are the beauty of Cape Greko and the Monastery at Stavrouni.
