Bed and breakfasts out of the norm

Have you ever wanted to move out of the ordinary and do something that isn’t what you normally would?

Great news was my reaction when I heard that Cypriot government decided to incorporate the Euro as their trading currency, especially what it would mean for the Cyprus property market. Oddly enough though not everyone was so open to the new currency but the Cyprus property market has already benefited significantly since it’s introduction.

Prices are already rising healthily at around nine per cent a year, compared to five per cent the year before. A closer look at the Cypriot market shows that the rush to buy land before the 15 per cent VAT on land purchases kicks in on January 1 … plus low interest rates, the arrival of several budget airlines and a shortage of property for sale … have also helped to spur on property prices in southern Cyprus of late.
