North Cyprus Property & Living
The northern third of the beautiful Mediterranean island of Cyprus belongs to the Turkish administration and is separated from southern Cyprus by a long border crossing called the Green Line. The Green Line has meant that North Cyprus has remained largely free from the over development that has dogged other Mediterranean islands, and it has meant that the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus has retained its rural and rustic, natural charm.
It is the untouched feel, the slightly rough around the edges ambiance and the freer, more open attitude the people have to the way they live their life that make North Cyprus of such appeal for so many. Now that the country is receiving ever greater international recognition, it has its own airport and ferry ports, is more accessible and better known, so the number of expats considering relocating to live in Northern Cyprus is on the increase.
You only have to look at the progress property prices are making in and around the main towns of Kyrenia, Famagusta, Lapta, Esentepe and Alsancak to see how popular a retirement, relocation and general expat destination North Cyprus is becoming.
