Which region of Northern Cyprus to choose?
There are five main regions in Northern Cyprus. Each locality has a Turkish and Greek name (Greek in brackets):
- Lefkosa (Nicosia)
- Magosa (Famagusta)
- Iskele (Trikomo)
- Girne (Kyrenia)
- Guzelyurt (Morphou)
Every neighborhood is fundamentally different from each other. And before making the right choice, we need to understand your preferences based on several factors:
- you are looking for real estate for yourself or relatives, friends;
- do you plan to live, rent out or make money on resale;
- do you have a family, children;
- should it be a city or suburb;
- do you need a kindergarten, school, university nearby;
- do you need an apartment in a crowded or quiet complex, or maybe a villa;
- do you like flat terrain, proximity to the sea or mountains;
These are the main points you need to pay attention to when choosing a property.
For example, for families with children, the cities of Girne, Iskele and the settlements closest to them are best suited. They have the most developed infrastructure. There are schools nearby and an excellent choice of sandy beaches.
For students, it is better to choose city real estate near the chosen university, these are Girne, Lefkosa, Famagusta.
For investment in residential or commercial real estate, the best options are: Girne, Iskele or Famagusta. Real estate in these cities has good rental potential. For example, Famagusta is home to a lot of students from around the world. And you can easily rent out an apartment there for the entire academic year. Commercial premises are also well rented out there.
If you like a calm and measured way of life, then the suburban Girne, Lapta, Karsiyaka, Tatlisu, Catalkoy, Ozankoy, Esentepe, Bahceli or on the east coast Boaz, Bafra are ideal for you. Or you can even go to the edge of the island to Karpas. This is a peninsula, which is a narrow and long strip of land extending into the Mediterranean Sea. And Karpas ends with Cape Apostle Andrew.
