Renting villas and apartments in cyprus

There is always that difficult stage when you first move to a country about where to live. I am so pleased that i found a villa for rent in Cyprus first. Bellow are my notes on areas from when i first moved over and what areas i thought suited different people. I did this in the hope to find the perfect location for me to rent in.... So it may help someone else too, plus there are links to websites which may be of use to you at some point!

Paralimni: ideal for families with children as there are plenty of schools within close proximity for all age groups. Also ideal for shops, supermarkets and cafes, so no car needed necessarily.

Protaras: Great beaches, bars and restaurants, ideal for those who wish to work in the tourist industry, car is needed for main shops and amenities.

Pernera:

Ayia Triada: Not many apartments, but plenty of villas available. Good location for a sea side resort and close to the amenities. Ideal for families who wish to have the best of both worlds.

Kapparis: Ideal for young and old, the resort is open all year round and has a wide variety of entertainment, like bars and restaurants. It is close to Paralimni and also the sea side. Plenty of apartments available and villas. See some examples of villa rentals Kapparis here
