Engaged couple Lee and Sedigheh from Oxford are keen to find their perfect holiday home in their favourite place, Paphos in Cyprus. They have quite a wish list for their budget of £100k – will Ben Hillman be able to find them exactly what this water sport loving pair are after?
About the area
Around a four and a half hour flight from the UK takes you to Paphos on the west coast of Cyprus, with 30 miles of stunning coastline nearby, lined with coves, beaches, and rocky outcrops. Paphos is perfect for holidaymakers who want fun in the sun and crystal-clear waters to swim in.
While parts of central Paphos, such as Kato, have lots going on and a bustling nightlife, there is so much more to this area, with archaeological sites such as the Tomb of the Kings and St Paul’s Pillar, as well as neighbourhoods like Peyia further inland, where you can also get more for your money.
Rising prices in Paphos have been driving buyers to look further afield for bargain fixer-uppers. In fact, project properties for under a hundred thousand pounds are extremely thin on the ground. But if you are a bit handy and willing to look a little further inland, there are still some good deals to be had.
