Does cosmopolitan and vibrant Limassol situated on the South coast suit your future plans? What about bustling Nicosia full of rich culture and history? Or how about the archaeological rich Paphos with its history dating back to Neolithic times and its multiple historical sites linked to the goddess Aphrodite? Cyprus really does offer something for everyone.

Once you’ve selected the area which best suits your needs, it’s then time to decide what kind of property you’d like to rent in Cyprus.

Generally there are three common types of properties in Cyprus and it’s important to consider which one best suits your needs.

Apartments

Apartments are a very attractive option for those looking to rent a property for the first time in Cyprus and are both readily available and affordable. Apartments are often an attractive option for singles or couples relocating to the island and offer up the perfect starting point for those seeking to experience life in Cyprus. As each area has its own unique quirks, Apartments offer up the ability to spend time in your preferred area to see if life in that specific area suits your needs. Do keep in mind that apartments are usually more affordable when renting long term (6 months or more). If renting an apartment short term you may find that the prices increase during the summer months so it pays to make a decision on whether long term or short term rental best suits your needs when renting your first home in Cyprus.

Bungalows

Bungalows are another common property type in Cyprus and with everything situated on one floor they can often be the perfect choice for those with limited mobility or retirees. Bungalows are often spacious and a great option if you prefer not to live within a shared block.

Villas

Villas in Cyprus are generally quite spacious and have a minimum of two floors. Many rental villas in Cyprus come with a private pool perfect for cooling off on those long hot summer days but naturally as with anywhere luxuries come at an increased rental cost. If you’re sure of the area you want to live in and have a family or prefer lots of space then a Villa could be the perfect option for your first time rental in Cyprus.

Once you’ve selected the area which best suits your needs and the property type that best fits your requirements, then it’s time you rent your first property in Cyprus.
