Ayia Napa & Protaras
If you are considering a Cyprus apartment in Protaras or Ayia Napa you should be aware that Turkey invaded Northern Cyprus in 1974. The name Famagusta applies also to the District as well as the town itself which is within the occupied North. So when we talk about people buying property for sale in Famagusta, Cyprus we are not talking about Famagusta town but of the Famagusta District in which Ayia Napa and Protaras are situated. When looking at a Cyprus map, Protaras is on the far eastern coast with Ayia Napa just a bit farther south.
Both towns are very popular resorts. As a result there is a wide range of property for sale in this area. A Cyprus apartment in Protaras or a villa in Ayia Napa may well be ideal for you - and within your budget too! To check which parts of Famagusta are occupied by Turkey, be sure to consult a general Cyprus map. Protaras and Ayia Napa are on the East coat in Southern Cyprus. A map of Protaras and Ayia Napa with street details would be even better when it comes to viewing a specific Cyprus apartment in Protaras and Ayia Napa and Cyprus car hire is so cheap you will find this the best way to get around.
Protaras has a particularly long stretch of magnificent beach and Ayia Napa is the ‘party capital’ of Cyprus, it is just a short drive from Protaras. For many holidaying in Cyprus an apartment in Protaras makes a perfect base. In the harbour you will see luxury cruisers bobbing alongside traditional fishing boats and local restaurateurs bidding for the freshly caught seafood for the evening diners. Add the fact that there are local bakeries and much more besides, this is a great place to live in Cyprus, not just for a short holiday visit.
Between the two towns lies Paralimni, famous for its windmills that are used for crop irrigation. The locals call this region 'Kokkinochoria' which means the ‘red soil villages’. Local farmers grow a wide range of crops here - including the world famous ‘Cyprus potato’. Properties for sale in Cyprus (an apartment in Protaras, Ayia Napa or Paralimni) don't get any more affordable than in this beautiful fertile region.
If you are looking for your very own Cyprus apartment, Protaras, Ayia Napa and Paralimni are all well worth checking out.
