A £350-million marina development is on course to put Cyprus firmly on the map of the global nautical community, as well as attract property-buyers looking for something in the Med that’s a bit special.

 

Limassol Marina, backed by the Cyprus Government, will feature 273 luxury apartments, penthouses and villas, a state-of-the-art 650-berth marina, and commercial units including restaurants, bars, shops and leisure facilities. The development is designed to blend with the ramparts of Limassol’s historic castle. “Limassol’s history is inextricably linked with the sea and the new marina will bring an exciting new fashionable destination to Limassol and to Cyprus,” said Michalis Hadjipanayiotou, CEO of developer Cybarco.

The pièce de resistance of Limassol Marina’s property offering are the Island Villas, which have private berths. Situated almost a kilometre into the sea and surrounded by the Med, these will allow owners to sail directly up to their home and moor their yacht in front of their own private garden.

The property market in Cyprus as a whole is depressed, meaning many homes are being offered with discounts. To make sure you save even more money when buying there, consider using a currency specialist, such as Smart Currency Exchange, to transfer your pounds into euros for your purchase.
