Buying property in Nicosia
Buying property in Nicosia
Being a capital of the island Nicosia is made for young, active, creative people and businessmen of course. There are no beaches anywhere near Nicosia, the closes ones are located 40 km away. The capital city life is full of events, exhibitions where every day brings new friendships, emotions and keeps its citizens toned and active. In the last decade Nicosia has attracted many tourists from Europe not only due to its interesting historical and cultural sites, but also for its developments and contemporary projects.
Nicosia - the capital of two hostile states at the same time
Nevertheless Nicosia is a very safe and peaceful place to live in. Conflicts happen in Cyprus rarely and the dispute with the Turkis side is relatively dormant (although it is better not to speak out loud about it). Right in the heart of the city there is a border zone and customs. Any tourist can easily walk from the Greek side to the Turkish one without any problems being caused. The culture in both states though adjacent, but still varies considerably. Nicosia itself is very unique and different to all the other towns of the island. Cyprus may be easily considered as the epicenter of the world culture. It happened to be so from both geographical and historical point of view.
One third of the population lives in Nicosia
If you are planning to move here with family, we recommend considering a property located in the neighboring villages. The regions there usually quiet, calm and spacious. If you are used to being in the spotlight and want to plunge into a busy life of the capital, feel the history of the city from the inside and get acquainted with the unique culture, you may consider choosing a house in the center. It is very easy to buy a great apartment in Nicosia. Although, in case you could not find anything that is suitable for you please send us a request with all necessary requirements so we can find something suitable for you.
