A culmination of several thousand years’ worth of civilization, Cyprus is the third largest island in the Mediterranean and easily one of its most popular tourist spots. As the legendary birthplace of the goddess Aphrodite, it is still heavily influenced by Greek culture. Cyprus is a beautifully modern nation, fluent in English, Greek and other European languages, and possessing a wide array of museums, historical landmarks, and other places steeped in the cultural and creative arts.
Many of the properties that abound in Cyprus exhibit these refined features. Villages that include Olympus, Freehold, and Kamares are popular and stylish resorts patronized by those seeking to live the classic Mediterrenean lifestyle of subtle luxury, with prominent views of the sunset over the Paphos coastline. The presence of these magnificent resorts do not take away from the lush countryside scenery – the mountain landscape is replete with numerous trees and flora - the area has been carefully landscaped and beautified to emphasize the region’s naturally made assets. Zelemenos Village, which is a part of the Kamares, is in fact, situated close to the Monastery of St. Neophytos, known for being the past residence of the current Cyprus Archbishop, Chrysostomos II, and is known for its distinctiveness and popular view of the countryside.
A fashionable retreat for the summer holidays, the villages also boast of the modern efficiencies present in any epicurean home, including underground cabling for electricity – an assurance for tourists that all modern conveniences are still made available within this luxury resort.
There are several other quaint villas to choose from all over Cyprus. The Apollo Beach village situated near Coral Bay, for example, comprise of villas surrounded by unspoilt scenery, majestic views, and modern accommodations that include two up to four bedrooms, luxuriant patios, both a private and communal swimming pool, all perfectly designed in Greek to European architecture. For those who wish to be close to the bustling commercial centers of Cyprus, yet still maintain their nature hideaways, the Pissouri village is minutes away from the active businesses of Pissouri. These bedroom villas, which can hold anywhere from two to five bedrooms, are ideal for warm climates and holds a majestic view of the Mediterrenean Sea. Enjoy the outdoor lifestyle? Then the Argaka Beach Villas, with its beautiful beachfront and large sun terraces, are perfect for days spent sunning oneself amidst its splendid gardens offset by a clear view of the sea. Numerous options are still available for the more modern-inclined denizen or travelling businessman. Paradise Gardens is as much a paradise as its name implies, with all the contemporary facilities they can wish for, from luxurious club houses and community clubs to close proximity to green areas and nearby beaches, and complete with marble floors, solar heating, and offers easy access to the main roads. The Aphrodite Springs, similarly, is located on a hillside south of Yeroskipou Village, and provides not only a view of the Mediterranean, but also of nearby plains. It even comes with its own parking, restaurant, club house, and a mini-market for better convenience.
The natural beauties of Cyprus are not the only incentives to living there. With beautifully designed villas and convenient amenities made solely for their residents’ absolute comfort, it’s one of the best places in the world to live.
