Premium properties in western Cyprus could be popular

The Akamas Peninsula in western Cyprus is set to become a favourite among property investors, it has been claimed.

According to a report in British newspaper the Daily Telegraph, new transport links combined with the area's natural beauty are attracting developers building beachfront homes.

A new road which will connect the peninsula to Paphos and its international airport - to be completed around 2011 - could lure potential tourists and investors.

Furthermore, the author of the article highlights the attention Akamas was attracting from "boutique developers", who are looking to rival luxurious homes found in southern France or on the Balearic coastlines.

Andreas Andreou from Cybarco explained that individuals could find something previously unavailable in the country.

"There hasn't been much choice for buyers looking for well-designed premium properties before in Cyprus," he told the paper.

Meanwhile, the Cypriot government has given permission for 14 new golf courses to be built on the island, something which is likely to tempt both tourists and investors.
