Cyprus - Golfing Property a Hit

When it comes to having a great holiday, Cyprus has always proved to be a popular destination. Now it's has an added attention - golf and golf property.

(PRWEB) July 14, 2006 -- When it comes to having a great holiday, Cyprus has always proved to be a popular destination. It offers 330 days of sunshine a year, beautiful beaches and of course friendly people. But it seems that Cyprus now has an added attraction - golf. The allure of golfing holidays, combined with luxury accommodation is gaining momentum, with the latest property niche being golfing estates.

I do private presentations to groups of about 15 to 20 people. This kind of investor has no interest in going to an exhibition with hundreds of other people who are looking for a holiday apartment in a traditional tourist area. They want premium property.

Golfing as a lifestyle does have its attractions. The health impact is important to consider — walking around miles of beautiful green lawns will always be good for health. Not to mention just being outside in lots of fresh air (and Cyprus has lots of it, due to its minimal industrial sector). And of course, once the golf game is finished, the magical Mediterranean is just a swing away.

Both the government and certain far-seeing companies in Cyprus are recognizing that there is a big future in golf in the country. From a tourism point of view, golf is always going to attract a certain kind of person - not mass-product, all-inclusive package holiday. Rather, these are people who want to be left alone to play their game in optimum surroundings, without screaming children and noisy holiday revelers. For this and other advantageous reasons, the government is making supportive gestures towards the fledging golfing industry in Cyprus. There are currently three golf courses in Cyprus, with two belonging to Aristo developers Tsada and Secret Valley, both in the Paphos district and another the latest on is Ahprodite hills belonging to lanitis group.

The golf property in Cyprus specially in paphos are set in such a way that reflect and promote the natural beauty of the area. What's more attractive however, are the prices. Considering they are golf properties in a prestigious development, the starting price of around CYP 200 000 for a 3 bedroom vill with private swimming pool is not unreasonable.

According to Aristo's Area Sales Manager, Themis Mavromichakos, interest in properties is high amongst investors, "I do private presentations to groups of about 15 to 20 people. This kind of investor has no interest in going to an exhibition with hundreds of other people who are looking for a holiday apartment in a traditional tourist area. They want premium property." A beautiful villa on a golf course, surrounded by majestic mountains, right next to the Mediterranean sounds pretty premium indeed.
