Paphos Real Estate — Villas, Investments & Beachfront Properties
Why Paphos?
Paphos is a smaller coastal city on the west of Cyprus, with a UNESCO listed archaeological site, its own international airport, and a long established community of overseas holiday home owners and retirees. Prices are generally lower than Limassol and the pace is quieter.
Where do buyers focus in Paphos?
Kato Paphos, around the harbour, is the main tourist and apartment area. Coral Bay and Peyia to the north west are the established villa districts for overseas buyers, many with sea views. Ktima, the upper town, is the local centre and better value. Our Paphos listings run from coastal apartments to detached villas with pools.
Can foreigners buy property in Paphos?
EU nationals buy on the same basis as Cypriot citizens. Non EU nationals can buy residential property, usually with Council of Ministers approval for the transfer, which is a routine step rather than an obstacle. Buyers pay either transfer fees on a resale property or VAT on a new one, plus stamp duty and legal fees. We recommend depositing the contract of sale at the Land Registry to protect your position, and we give a full itemised cost estimate before exchange. Cyprus also has a permanent residency route tied to property investment; the minimum amount and the conditions are set by government and change from time to time, so confirm the current figure with a Cyprus lawyer rather than relying on a number you read online.
