Tourism in Cyprus has boomed in recent years and the property market has grown with it. The two have become almost inseparable on the island: the Mediterranean climate, so appealing to overseas visitors, is a strong part of its attraction for expats. The retirement market for those looking to relocate abroad is a strong component of the Cypriot property industry. It is no surprise that the two converge in one main hotspot: Paphos. The south-west coastal resort is the most popular destination, although the history of Limassol and modern nightlife of Famagusta also have their fans. Cyprus has become increasingly dependent on investors from China and Russia to bolster demand for the island’s property following a new law to offer residency to non-EU buyers who invest.
