Buying a Flat in Famagusta for Property Investment
Due to the ever-expanding levels of demand for rentals throughout the year, the real estate value of Famagusta is increasing day by day.

At the beginning of the article, we mentioned that the rental demand has increased due to large numbers of university students that study in Famagusta, but another factor that effects demand for rentals is tourism. The changing preferences for holidays after COVID-19, brought along the trend of renting villas instead of hotel accommodation. This new found demand for private rentals for vacation has increased the Famagusta flat prices, especially those close to the sea or by the sea. But on the other hand, it has provided real estate investors with a significant income opportunity. Renting real estate for tourism purposes will continue to gain prominence for the city of Famagusta with its beautiful beaches that are sunny between 300-320 days in a year.
Another important factor to consider is the re-opening of Varosha. After the Cyprus Peace Operation in 1974, this region became prohibited to enter by the civilian population and remained idle for many years. However, the region of Varosha was one of the most important tourism centres of Cyprus before 1974. So much so that before 1974, it alone provided 50 percent of Cyprus’ tourism revenues. Many people’s real estate is located here, from the British Royal Family to Sophia Loren. It is envisaged that the process, which started with the opening of the Varosha coasts in 2020, will cover the entire Varosha in the future and that the region will be rebuilt and become once again a centre for tourism.
