Villas in Ayia Thekla - The best of both worlds?

Despite the fact that they can by no means be called mainstream homes, villas in Ayia Thekla have developed something of a following with British homebuyers in Cyprus.

Villas in Ayia Thekla, a small community only minutes from Ayia Napa

It is largely this small community's location which can be held responsible for its rapid rise in popularity with foreign homebuyers since, despite the fact that the busy resort of Ayia Napa with its many amenities is only a few minutes by car, the seafront village of Ayia Thekla itself still features a quiet, almost sleepy atmosphere.

But what of the village itself?
What moves an ever increasing number of overseas property buyers to purchase villas in Ayia Thekla as opposed to the many other small communities dotted along the south and east coast of Cyprus?

A small village, crystal-clear Mediterranean waters and an uncrowded beach

What more could anyone want? How about convenient access to some of the best beaches on the island?

Before getting into some of the other nearby beaches, it is worth mentioning that Ayia Thekla beach is quite outstanding in its own right, consisting as it were of a small (200 or 300 metres) crescent of sand, protected from the waves by a small island a few hundred yards offshore.

On the subject of other beaches, it is needless to say that the world famous Nissi beach in Ayia Napa is only a few minutes distant. If the hustle and bustle of this resort does not appeal however, the more family orientated resort of Protaras with its almost equally famous Konnos Bay and Fig Tree Bay beaches can also be reached within just a few minutes drive of Ayia Thekla.

Nor is access to the rest of the island any great hardship. Indeed, the nearby motorway serves as an extremely convenient connection between the village and the rest of the Republic, with Larnaca International Airport for example, only a thirty minute drive away.  For those of you with concerns about traffic noise, please rest assured that the motorway is not close enough to the village to cause a disturbance.

If you still need more good reasons to invest in villas in Ayia Thekla, look no further than the local infrastructure’s rapid expansion.

The east of Cyprus has been undergoing a number of changes since the Republic’s accession to full European Union membership in May 2004. Massive E.U. grants are responsible for the Famagusta peninsula’s continuing development as a resort area, with improvements to the road system and tourist amenities being but a couple of the many enhancements made both locally and in the Larnaca region.

Property in North Cyprus?

A recent high-profile case involving Cherie Booth (Blair) brought before the crown court has been hailed as a resounding victory by developers and estate agents selling North Cyprus Property. The facts however, remain unchanged. North Cyprus is, as before, an illegally occupied territory. Dispossessed Greek Cypriots still retain their claim to their family's real land in the north. In fact, the only thing established by this resounding victory is that a speculator's British property cannot be encumbered to compensate the Greek Cypriot land owner at this stage.
