Part of our Buy & Sell Guide.

The main areas

  • Kyrenia (Girne): the lively harbour town – restaurants, marina, amenities and the widest choice of property.
  • Esentepe: a quieter seafront stretch popular with relocators, near golf and Alagadi turtle beach.
  • Bahceli: calm coastal living between the mountains and the sea.
  • Iskele and Long Beach: the newest large resorts and the strongest short-let rental demand.
  • Famagusta and Karpaz: history, university life and the wild, unspoilt east.

Matching area to goal

Choose Kyrenia for amenities and resale liquidity, Esentepe or Bahceli for peaceful living, and Iskele or Long Beach for rental yield and modern facilities.

Rental hotspots

Long Beach and the Kyrenia coast see the most consistent short-let demand thanks to beaches, facilities and easy access from the airport.
