The third largest of the Mediterranean islands, Cyprus has long been a popular destination for British tourists. As a former British colony, English is widely spoken here, singling it out from its European neighbours. Coupled with its natural beauty and sunny disposition, the Anglicised character of this historic country adds to its appeal as a desirable place to invest in property.

Throughout its colourful past, legends from Alexander the Great to Cleopatra have staked their claim here. Today Cyprus continues to seduce visitors with its picturesque countryside, year round sunshine and gentle pace. An alluring, compact world of fragrant mountain peaks, vineyards studded with olive trees and old stone villages. Where sparkling resorts and pristine beaches lie close to ancient ruins in a mesmerising marriage of modern European and classical Greek culture.
