Resting in the east of the Mediterranean sea, the Island of Cyprus has long been a favourite with European holiday makers. With it’s relaxed atmosphere and stunning scenery, its popularity is of no surprise. However, it has been the Greek controlled south of Cyprus which has gained the vast majority of the tourist trade. Turkish controlled northern Cyprus property has, for many decades, been the poor relative in terms of attracting a good slice of the holiday market since the bitter war which split the Island in two.

Things in recent years however have started to change. The north of Cyprus has made itself more open and accessible to the outside World. The Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus Government has spent a great deal of money in recent years promoting the north as a magnificent place to invest in property and to enjoy a break. As a result, northern Cyprus investment properties have taken off massively, with second home buyers across Europe and especially the UK. Many people are lured not just by the prices, which for years have been significantly cheaper than southern Cyprus, but also by the great unspoilt scenery and laid back life style which the North can offer.

Similarly, the same things that have attracted people buying investment property in northern Cyprus have also attracted the British and European holiday maker. Great locations, including the Kyrenia District on the north west coast of the Island are packed full with little villages such as Bellapais and Karmi, overflowing with ancient history and charm. The centre of activity in Kyrenia District, Kyrenia Town is located on a beautiful harbour and framed by the backdrop of the nearby Five Finger Mountain range, replete with a fine range of wonderful Restaurants and Cafes.

To the west of Kyrenia District lays Famagusta District which is undoubtedly the more lively of northern Cyprus’ two major districts with the nearby cities of Ayia Napa and the capital of the Island Nicosia, providing a more cosmopolitan touch. Famagusta is also famed for its fantastic beaches, great Restaurants and laid back lifestyle, which has made it a favourite with northern Cyprus investment property hunters.
