There are about 10,000 permanent British residents in and around Paphos who think that this is the area to settle down in Cyprus.
Off-plan properties are abundant in and around Paphos, and there are older homes and villas as well as properties for sale where you can build your own dream holiday home. Off plan property, such as this apartment complex in Geroskipou outside of the city, can start as low as €76,630. Larger and more upscale properties can be had near the coast, such as in the village of Kissonerga, near Coral Bay. Here is a new luxury development with prices starting at €208,450. There are many other place in which to invest, new and old, small and large

The office for National Statistics in the UK show that 200,000 people left the country for good in 2007 the huge majority of these were retirees. Many UK pensioners who have had years in the housing market have good amounts of equity in their homes. Pensions sent to many of the popular places to retire abroad can go a long way if you do your sums correctly. Taxation can be a unpleasant surprise for Brits retiring abroad and this is a warning for those who have not thought about this issue seriously.
There are vast differences in taxation, inheritance laws and the availability of health care in each region popular with those seeking to retire abroad.How many of us know that France for example has income tax rate of up to 49.8% and inheritance tax rate of 30%.
Cyprus income-tax rate of just 5% on pensions for retired residents, as well as low property prices and no inheritance tax. It also scores highly on related issues such as ease of gaining residency, low property buying and selling costs and benefits for pensioners.
Panama, now infamously the chosen destination of “back from the dead” canoeist John Darwin and his wife Anne, is also an excellent place for those living on a retirement pension. This is largely thanks to its pensionado scheme, which offers attractive discounts for pensioners.

The city of Larnaca is situated on a long bay between Cape Pyla and Cape Kiti, with kilometers of beaches for fun in the sun. The city has its own harbour and marina, and the beaches along the bay extend for some 25 kilometers. The main beaches for the city are Phinikoudes and McKenzie, both of which have been awarded Blue Flags for environmental cleanliness. To the southwest of town is the Larnaca Salt Lake, which fills up during the winter and dries out over the course of the hot summer months.
The city itself is founded on the site of one of the oldest established sites on Cyprus. The earliest remains go back to the Mycenaean age and the area was known as Citium, or Kition. There are plenty of historical and cultural sites in and around the city, including an archeological site of ancient Kition. The old remains can be seen in Cyclopean walls made of giant blocks of stone and a complex of 12th century BC Mycenaean Greek temples.

There are many popular hotels and resorts for vacationers along this stretch of road and beach, and there are also plenty of apartments and off-plan properties available.
