Golf Property for Sale in Cyprus

.: Cyprus is a great island in the Mediterranean, the third largest after Sicily and Sardinia. Modern Cyprus is an amalgamation of European culture and the ancient Mediterranean timelessness. It is land legends are made of; it is the land of Aphrodite – the Greek Goddess of Love. People who come to visit fall in love with its enthralling beaches and the mountains. The ancient ruins, stirring everyone’s imaginations, bring back to mind its more than 10,000 years of diverse civilizations. Its plentiful citrus groves and the old style villages are all dimensions of the elegant beauty of Cyprus.

Cyprus offers a lot to its visitors and residents. You can choose from the unspoiled countryside, traditional villages, the Troodos Mountains and nature reserves or opt for the lively cosmopolitan resorts and fantastic beaches that Cyprus has to offer.

Nevertheless the Cyprus Tourism Organisation (CTO) has identified that Cyprus shouldn’t just be seen as a sun, sea and sand destination. Many businessmen, well established in the hospitality and tourism sector, have suggested that the island needs to diversify its products and also cater to those who want to combine their hobbies with their holidays. Cyprus gained prominence as a sporting destination – and particularly a venue for sports camps – in the run-up to the Athens Olympics and its mild winter climate makes it an ideal destination for winter training camps for teams from northern Europe. The CTO has, for a number of years, produced maps and guides for cycling trails, nature walks and other special interests as well as encouraging the development of new marinas and golf courses

Though golfing is new to Cyprus - barely a dozen years have passed since it got its first golf course in 1994 - its nearly all year round sunshine offers a great opportunity to golfers to have a go, and show their skills. At present there are only three courses in the whole of Cyprus – Secret Valley, Aphrodite Hills and Tsada, all of which are located in the Paphos area, and are unique in their own individual way offering challenging golf with spectacular views. Although this is all set to change, as Cyprus golf tourism will benefit from plans for up to another 7 new golf courses over the next 3-5 years. These new golf courses, where golf property will be available, will be located throughout Cyprus. One of the first new golf courses planned for Cyprus will soon be taking shape a few kilometres outside Larnaca, in the valley of a small village known as Tersefanou. There are also golf courses planned for Limassol, Ayia Napa and Polis and a few more planned for the Paphos region.

As mentioned, some of the most breathtaking golfing properties in Cyprus are in and around Paphos.. Paphos is the most visited destination in Cyprus due to its eye-catching extravagant beaches and coastlines, beautiful harbour and magnificent archaeological sites. Paphos is near "Petra tou Romiou," the place thought to be where Aphrodite was born; it is nearest to all the three golf courses of Cyprus.
