Western Cyprus, Jean Johansson

Jean Johansson is on the glorious island of Cyprus on its western coast helping restaurant owners Skevy and David, who are looking to buy a holiday home close to Skevy’s Cypriot family. They’ve given Jean a generous budget of £400,000 and she’s hunted out 5 fantastic properties for them to see, but will any match the couple’s idea of perfection?

About the area

The best way to get to Western Cyprus is to fly into Paphos – the flight time from the UK is around four and a half hours. This part of Cyprus has changed massively since the 1970s, when tourism first started. Many of the former fishing villages on the coast and rural villages in the hills are now lively and thriving holiday destinations. These are now home to a big British population, as the majority of Cyprus’ estimated fifty thousand Brits live in this part of the island. And along with beautiful countryside, crystal clear waters and stunning beaches, there are also lots of places where you can enjoy a bit of home away from home.
