Summer isn’t here quite yet, but if you are getting those atlases out and planning your next trip – plus of course your next property purchase – you could do worse than consider Cyprus.

Every year the European Commission produces an annual report on the quality and cleanliness of beaches – and Cyprus is again right up near the top for yet another year. The great news is that 99.1 per cent of beaches in Cyprus comply with all the obligatory standards on beach water quality.

Samples were taken from Cypriot beaches and then analysed for bacteria count and the presence of any chemical substances, with the above results. So you can rest assured that when you are in Cyprus, you are swimming in some of the cleanest water in Europe.

The island is littered with lovely beaches, some large and sandy, others small and pebbly, with something for everyone. Quiet and secludes, fun and friendly for the kids – Cyprus has it all – in spades. If you can see yourself lounging on some of the best beaches in the world on a permanent basis, then perhaps Cyprus is the place for that holiday home!
