East Coast Cyprus, Jean Johansson

Jean Johansson is using all her skills to find the perfect holiday home for house hunters Shirley and Ken who recently fell in love with the the region of Famagusta in Cyprus. With their budget of £165,000 Jean has 5 great options for them – but will any be perfect?

About the area

The best way to get to Famagusta on the east coast of Cyprus is to fly into to Larnaca International Airport, which takes about 3 hours from the UK – then it’s just over half an hour's drive. The Famagusta district is best known for the famous party town of Ayia Napa, but if clubs and banging tunes aren’t your thing, there are plenty of more relaxed places to visit and stay, as well as some fantastic beaches that are particularly popular with snorkellers as well as sun bathers – plus there are tons of historical sites to visit – this part of the island dates back to 274 BC!
