FAMILY ADVENTURERS, THIS ONE’S FOR YOU! Where world-class schooling meets Mediterranean living

Relocating to Cyprus with family successfully often comes down to creating a sense of home as quickly as possible. A welcoming community, access to good schools, and a safe, family-friendly environment all help the transition feel natural. Finding that balance means you can embrace the adventure while giving your children a stable and happy start.

That is where the right location makes all the difference.

If you are dreaming of Cyprus, there is a place where family life flows easily, the school run takes minutes, and sunshine fills every corner. Welcome to Mesa Chorio.

A school families love

When parents move abroad, education is often the top priority. You want your children to feel settled, supported and inspired, and that is exactly what The International School of Paphos (ISOP) offers.

Established in 1987, ISOP has spent more than three decades building a reputation as one of Cyprus’ most respected private schools. It provides:

  • Education from Kindergarten to A Levels (ages 2½ to 18)
  • The English National Curriculum, ideal for international families
  • Co-educational and boarding options
  • A close-knit community of over 1,000 students

ISOP is more than a school. It is a place where global friendships form and young minds flourish. Parents can relax knowing their children are receiving a first-class education, and with a home nearby, mornings are calm, not rushed.

A lifestyle that feels like home when relocating to Cyprus with family

Picture the start of your day. Blue skies overhead, sunshine pouring through the windows, and the gentle hum of village life outside. You take a short walk to school, wave the children off, then stop for a morning coffee overlooking the Mediterranean.

By afternoon, they are swimming, playing outdoors or joining after-school clubs, while you unwind by your own private pool.

This is not a holiday. It is home.

Living close to an international school does more than simplify daily routines. It creates a natural community where families connect easily through school events, weekend gatherings and shared island adventures.

The perfect family villa in Mesa Chorio

Just 500 metres from ISOP stands a beautifully designed three-bedroom villa, built for modern Mediterranean living.

This newly completed property blends comfort, space and style, featuring:

  • Bright open-plan living areas filled with natural light
  • A private swimming pool surrounded by landscaped gardens
  • A panoramic roof terrace perfect for family dinners under the stars
  • Driveway parking behind electric gates for added privacy
  • Full title deeds and A+ energy efficiency

Every detail has been considered. Whether you are relocating permanently or spending part of the year in Cyprus, this is a home where you can simply unpack, settle in and start living your new life right away.

To find out more call Stephen Parsons on +44 (0)7740 735144, you can also email us at info@myelysium.co.uk to arrange a viewing or fill in the form here to enquire about this property.

Mesa Chorio – village charm with modern convenience

Mesa Chorio sits just outside Paphos, combining the warmth of traditional Cypriot life with modern amenities. Local shops, cafés and tavernas are moments away, while the beaches, restaurants and cultural landmarks of Paphos are within easy reach.

The village is peaceful yet connected. It is the kind of place where children play outdoors, neighbours greet one another and every evening ends with a sunset that stops you in your tracks.

It is a hidden gem that feels both timeless and welcoming, the sort of place where families quickly feel they belong.

Moving made simple

At MyElysium, we know that relocating abroad is more than just finding a house. It is about building a life that feels balanced, safe and inspiring.

That is why we help families discover homes that match their lifestyle, not just their wish list. From sourcing move-in ready properties to providing trusted local guidance, we make the process smooth and stress-free.

While we handle the details, you can focus on creating new memories in the sunshine. Whether you are looking for a permanent base, a family holiday home or a new beginning, Mesa Chorio is a wonderful place to start.

Your next chapter starts here

Relocating to Cyprus as a family is about more than moving to a new country. It is about embracing a new rhythm of life, where school runs are short, friendships are global and every day ends under a golden sky.

If that sounds like the kind of future you are ready to explore, this villa near the International School of Paphos could be the perfect fit.

To keep the inspiration flowing, visit our recent blog Sanctuary seekers, this one’s for you!, where we take you inside a unique stone house with some rather special four-legged neighbours.

Golden opportunities for buyers of property in Crete with the new Kastelli Airport

property in crete

Property in Crete is becoming even more accessible with the new Kastelli Airport. Trial operations start in 2026, with full opening in early 2027, making travel smoother for buyers and investors. For anyone looking to relocate, invest in property, or purchase a second home in Crete, the new airport opens up exciting opportunities. Furthermore, with the capacity to handle over 15 million passengers annually in its early years and eventually more than 18 million travellers per year, Crete will be more accessible than ever.

To discover how this can make owning property in Crete easier, contact Stephen Parsons on +44 (0)7740 735 144 or email info@myelysium.co.uk.

Easier international connections for buyers of Crete property

Crete already benefits from two international airports, Heraklion and Chania, both of which offer direct flights from the UK and across Europe. Moreover, the addition of Kastelli will further strengthen these links and position Crete as only the second destination in Greece, after Athens, to welcome direct flights from long-haul markets such as the USA, Canada, India, and China.

For buyers and second homeowners, this means:

  • Year-round accessibility, making travel from almost anywhere in the world smoother
  • Stronger rental potential, as easier access increases appeal for those letting their homes
  • Lifestyle flexibility, making relocation or part-time living in Crete far more practical.

Contact us today to discuss how these improvements can enhance your property plans in Crete.

Golden Visa opportunities in Crete

One of the biggest benefits of buying property in Greece is the Greek Golden Visa programme. With a qualifying property purchase, non-EU buyers can secure EU residency rights for themselves and their family, making travel across the Schengen Zone simple and stress free.

In Crete, a wide range of properties could make you eligible for the Golden Visa,, from modern apartments to luxury villas. With the new Kastelli Airport making the island even more accessible, this is a great time to explore the option.

At MyElysium, we are here to guide you through the whole journey, from choosing the right home to completing your Golden Visa application. If you would like to learn more, contact Stephen Parsons on +44 (0)7740 735 144 or email info@myelysium.co.uk.

Areas of interest for property in Crete

Crete offers something for every lifestyle, from exclusive luxury resorts to charming traditional villages. With the new airport, travel to the island is easier than ever, increasing opportunities for buyers and investors.

Elounda Hills luxury villas and branded residences for buyers

Elounda Hills is a luxury eco-resort under construction in Elounda, Crete. The 735-acre development includes branded residences, a five-star hotel managed by 1 Hotels, a marina, and world-class amenities with panoramic views of the Aegean Sea and Mirabello Bay.

Residences
Terrace Villas, Hilltop Apartments, and Mirabello Villas blend traditional Cretan style with modern eco-conscious design. Buyers may be eligible for Greece’s Golden Visa programme.

Amenities
The resort features a private marina, spa and wellness village, restaurants and bars, sandy beaches, and beach clubs. In addition, it offers leisure facilities including an amphitheatre, botanical gardens, and watersports.

Sustainability and timeline
The development uses underground infrastructure, locally sourced materials, renewable energy, and smart water management. Key milestones include 2027 when the marina becomes operational, 2028 for the completion of the hotel and first residences, and 2030 and beyond for further expansion.

As UK agents for Elounda Hills, MyElysium can help you every step of the way, from arranging in-country visits and property viewings to supporting you throughout the buying process. Elounda Hills is just a 20-minute drive from the new Kastelli Airport, making it even easier to reach. To explore available properties, contact Stephen Parsons on +44 (0)7740 735 144 or info@myelysium.co.uk.

Charming towns and villages for second homes in Crete

For buyers seeking character and a more traditional lifestyle, Crete’s quaint towns offer unique opportunities:

Rethymno
Famous for Venetian architecture, long sandy beaches, and historic charm. Traditional stone houses in nearby villages offer a serene setting while remaining close to the coast.

Chania
Combines a cosmopolitan Old Town with a Venetian harbour, excellent dining, and beautiful beaches. Strong rental demand makes it ideal for second homes.

Agios Nikolaos
A picturesque harbour town with a mix of contemporary apartments and traditional homes. Its relaxed atmosphere and modern amenities appeal to both permanent and seasonal residents.

With easier access from Kastelli Airport, travel to and from these areas is simpler than ever. Contact us on +44 (0)7740 735 144 or email info@myelysium.co.uk today to discover the perfect property for your lifestyle and investment goals.

Why Crete property is attractive for buyers and investors

Crete is already an attractive choice for second homes, relocation, and property investment. Kastelli Airport will make the island even more accessible, complementing the Greek Golden Visa programme. Buyers can enjoy lifestyle benefits and EU residency security. Contact Stephen Parsons on +44 (0)7740 735 144 or email info@myelysium.co.uk to learn how these advantages can help you make the most of your property purchase.

Living in Crete as a second-home owner

Crete is renowned for its culture, natural landscapes, and relaxed pace of life. In addition, with enhanced international access, stronger infrastructure, and a thriving property market, it is becoming even more attractive for those seeking:

  • A second home abroad to enjoy throughout the year
  • A relocation opportunity supported by modern infrastructure
  • A long-term investment in a well-connected part of Greece.

SANCTUARY SEEKERS, THIS ONE’S FOR YOU! (with donkey neighbours included)

A retreat with a difference

The scent of wild herbs drifts on the breeze, the sun glints on your private pool and the rhythm of Cyprus life encourages you to slow down. Then, in the distance, a gentle “hee-haw.” This isn’t just another Cyprus stone house for sale. It’s a home where every day feels lighter, with a soundtrack you won’t hear anywhere else.

Comfort, charm and opportunity

The main house (first floor) is spacious and welcoming, with four bright bedrooms and two bathrooms. Open-plan living areas flow outdoors, where sweeping views of the surrounding countryside become part of everyday life. Imagine relaxed breakfasts looking out across the hills, or evening drinks as the sun sets. And if a donkey happens to wander by, you’ll have the most memorable icebreaker for your dinner guests.

Alongside the main house are five self-contained studio apartments (on the ground floor). They are ideal for holiday rentals, guest accommodation or even creative workspaces. Few Cyprus homes offer this kind of flexibility.

The garden covers 1,100 square metres and is filled with Mediterranean planting. Imagine breakfasts in the sun, dinners under the stars or simply wandering among herbs and flowers in your own private haven.

A playful bonus – your donkey neighbours

Here’s what makes this property truly special. Next door is the Argonaftis Donkey Farm. Established in 1998, it is dedicated to preserving the endangered Cyprus Donkey breed. That means your neighbours aren’t just adorable, they are part of a genuine conservation effort.

Forget alarm clocks. Mornings here begin with a cheerful bray. And if a donkey chorus drifts into the background of a work call, you’ll instantly be the most interesting person on the screen.

The farm also offers countryside rides, traditional Cypriot experiences and even cosmetics made from donkey milk. Sadly, no donkeys are included in the sale of the property but having them next door brings a kind of charm you simply can’t buy!

Village life, Cyprus style

Agia Marina Kelokedaron is relaxed and authentic. Local tavernas, cafés and markets make daily life a pleasure. For shopping, dining or culture, Paphos and Limassol are close by. It’s the best of both worlds: a peaceful sanctuary with everything you need within easy reach.

Why this Cyprus property stands out

Cyprus is one of the most appealing property markets in Europe. There are over 320 days of sunshine each year, a subtropical climate and a welcoming international community. Living costs are lower than many other countries and the tax system is favourable.

And then there is the property itself. A traditional stone home with rental potential and donkey neighbours. That is the kind of story people remember. Homes with unique character like this tend to sell faster and appreciate more in value.

Investment meets lifestyle

This house works beautifully for families, investors or anyone dreaming of a retreat. The studio apartments can be guest rooms, holiday lets, offices or teenager hangouts. Children will love the pool and taking their friends over to meet the donkeys. Building permits allow for future expansion and nearby international schools make family life simple.

You are not just buying land and walls. You are investing in a way of life.

Your Mediterranean sanctuary awaits

Sometimes sanctuary finds you. Sometimes it comes with four-legged neighbours who remind you to slow down and enjoy the moment. This Cyprus property is not just about bricks and mortar. It is about laughter, sunshine and the joy of waking up to something different every day.

Ready to swap the rat race for donkey pace? To find out more, see the full listing here or call Stephen Parsons on +44 (0)7740 735144. You can also email us at info@myelysium.co.uk to arrange a viewing.

Finance professionals: why you should be considering Cyprus residency for your clients

cyprus residency

More clients are thinking globally, whether for lifestyle, tax planning, or long-term security, and they are turning to their advisers for guidance. As demand grows, Cyprus residency for clients of finance professionals is becoming an increasingly relevant topic, offering strategic benefits for both clients and their advisers.

If you’re a wealth manager, accountant, solicitor, mortgage broker or financial adviser, you might already be exploring how to support clients with cross-border ambitions. As demand grows for second residency, flexible tax planning, and future-proof strategies, Cyprus is becoming a practical and strategic choice.

At MyElysium, we specialise in helping clients secure property-led residency and relocation opportunities in Cyprus. We work with fully regulated professionals on the ground. This includes legal and tax advisers, developers, and relocation experts. Together, we deliver a joined-up, compliant, and efficient process from start to finish.

Cyprus residency through EU property investment

Cyprus offers one of the most accessible EU residency schemes still available post-Brexit. This makes it a strong consideration when discussing Cyprus residency for finance professionals and their clients. In fact, this scheme is one of the clearest and most efficient options available.

With a qualifying property investment from €300,000, your clients can secure permanent residency for themselves and their family. There is no need to relocate or rent out the property. The process is clear and quick. Clients typically complete applications within a few months.

Flexible tax residency via the 60-day rule

In addition, the 60-day tax residency rule makes Cyprus a compelling choice for mobile individuals. It allows non-residents to gain tax residency by spending just 60 days a year in Cyprus, provided other conditions are met. For those who travel frequently or split time between countries, it offers a flexible framework that opens the door to favourable tax treatment.

Non-domicile tax regime with long-term benefits

Moreover, the country appeals to investors and entrepreneurs through its favourable tax rules. Cyprus continues to attract high-net-worth individuals with its generous non-dom tax regime. For example, new tax residents who qualify as non-domiciled can enjoy exemption from dividend and interest income tax for up to 17 years. This makes Cyprus particularly appealing for entrepreneurs, investors and individuals focused on preserving wealth across generations.

Attractive pension options and tax advantages

Furthermore, Cyprus offers favourable pension schemes with tax incentives that appeal to retirees and those planning for retirement. Pension income can benefit from a low flat tax rate or full exemption depending on the source and amount. This flexibility supports long-term retirement planning and wealth preservation for clients seeking to optimise their pensions internationally.

Moving a business abroad to Cyprus

Therefore, for clients considering relocating a business, Cyprus offers significant advantages. The country has a competitive corporate tax rate and a business-friendly regulatory environment. It also benefits from a network of double taxation treaties that can reduce tax burdens on international operations. Cyprus provides a stable EU base with access to global markets, making it an attractive destination for companies seeking growth, cost efficiency and strategic positioning.

An English-speaking EU base with long-term stability

Cyprus is an EU member with a British-style legal system and a strong professional services sector. English is widely spoken, and there is a well-established expat community. For clients who value lifestyle, security, and access to high-quality healthcare and education, Cyprus offers a seamless balance of personal and professional appeal.

We work with regulated professionals in Cyprus

At MyElysium, we assist advisers who want to explore Cyprus as a viable option for their clients. Whether it is for tax residency, purchasing a home or relocating a business, we provide expert local support and access to a network of legal, tax and property professionals.

Our services are tailored to make the process smooth, transparent and compliant at every stage. If you are advising clients on long-term lifestyle or financial planning, now is the time to consider Cyprus residency for finance professionals as part of a well-rounded advisory approach.

Want to learn more about Cyprus residency?

If you would like access to a downloadable overview of the Cyprus residency and tax options, we can arrange for materials to be sent once an email address is provided. Please get in touch if you would like a copy or wish to discuss a specific scenario.

Support your clients on their Cyprus residency journey

NEWS: Cyprus nears Schengen membership – a game changer for buyers and investors

On 9th May, President Nikos Christodoulides confirmed that Cyprus is on track to meet all technical and legislative requirements by the end of 2025, with full Schengen membership expected in 2026. The announcement, made during Europe Day celebrations in Nicosia alongside European Parliament President Roberta Metsola, highlighted Cyprus’s strengthening ties with the European Union.

President Metsola offered her full support, praising the country’s leadership and reaffirming the European Parliament’s commitment to Cyprus’s ambitions within the EU, as well as to a lasting resolution of the Cyprus issue under UN guidance.

Why this matters for international buyers

For MyElysium clients – whether you are an international investor, a Cyprus Permanent Residency holder, or exploring second home opportunities – this development strengthens Cyprus’s position as one of the most attractive and strategic destinations in Europe.

  • Visa-free travel across 27 EU countries, making mobility across Europe much easier
  • Greater investment security in a stable and EU-aligned jurisdiction
  • Improved access to Europe’s business, education, and lifestyle opportunities

This progress further enhances Cyprus’s appeal as a safe, well-connected destination for real estate investment, holiday homes, or relocation – particularly for non-EU citizens seeking long-term value and Mediterranean living.

The key to a smooth property purchase in Cyprus

cyprus law

Over the past months, while fine-tuning our proposition for Cyprus, we have found Polycarpos Philippou & Associates LLC and their website, www.philippoulaw.com, to be a valuable resource for detailed, accurate, and helpful content about all aspects of law in Cyprus. If you’re considering moving there, we recommend starting your journey with us at MyElysium, and we can guide you towards the right legal experts to ensure a smooth property purchase in Cyprus.

The importance of legal advice when buying in Cyprus

Making a significant financial decision, like purchasing property in a foreign country, requires thorough understanding of the local legal system. Cyprus has its own unique legal landscape, which differs from the UK, making professional guidance essential for any property purchase or investment decision. Partnering with experienced legal experts is key to avoiding potential pitfalls and ensuring that your investment is secure.

For example, if you’re considering relocating and need immigration guidance, you can find detailed advice in this article from Polycarpos Philippou & Associates LLC: Immigration and Residence Permits in Cyprus.

They specialise in the following areas of Cypriot law:

  • Residential and Commercial Conveyancing
  • Immigration Law
  • Wills and Probate
  • Corporate Law
  • Litigation

Their deep expertise and personal approach ensure that, whether you’re moving to Cyprus for retirement, buying a holiday home, or relocating your business, you will be in excellent hands.

If you’re exploring property investments in Cyprus, we recommend checking out their article on Property Investment in Cyprus. It offers great insights into the legal considerations for property buyers.

For business owners interested in moving their operations to Cyprus, their expertise in corporate law is essential. Here’s a helpful guide on Company Incorporation in Cyprus.

Why choose Polycarpos Philippou & Associates LLC

NEWS: Positive Trends in Greece and Cyprus Property Markets Continue to Attract Investors

Despite economic challenges across Europe, including rising inflation and interest rates, the property markets in Greece and Cyprus are showing resilience, making them attractive destinations for both local and international investors.

Find Your Ideal Second Home in Cyprus, Greece, or the Greek Islands

Why Invest in Greece and Cyprus Real Estate in 2024?

The housing markets in both countries are driven by a combination of strong foreign investment and steady local demand. Particularly in Cyprus, the real estate market continues to thrive, with the first quarter of 2024 reflecting robust growth. According to recent data, the Central Bank of Cyprus reported a 7.8% annual increase in house prices during this period, slightly lower than the 8.3% growth seen in the previous quarter. Notably, apartment prices surged by 13.9%, underscoring the high demand in this segment.

The Growth of Luxury Properties in Cyprus

Luxury properties remain a significant contributor to Cyprus’s real estate market, with total sales reaching €2 billion. This momentum has carried into 2024, indicating sustained interest, especially from foreign buyers. In 2023 alone, 6,900 properties in Cyprus were purchased by international buyers, marking a 16% increase from the previous year.

Rising Demand for Class A Office Space in Cyprus

In the commercial sector, demand for Class A office space in Cyprus has reached its highest level in five years, recovering strongly from the pandemic downturn. Despite an increase in supply, office rental prices remain high, particularly in key areas like Limassol, Larnaca, and Nicosia, driven by consistent demand and evolving market standards.

Understanding the Booming Real Estate Market in Greece

In Greece, the real estate market is similarly robust. The Bank of Greece reported that the average house price in Athens’ southern suburbs hit €3,750 per square metre in Q1 2024, making it the highest nationwide. Piraeus led with a remarkable 28.9% annual increase in house prices. On a national scale, apartment prices grew by 10.4%, with significant gains across various regions, including Athens, Thessaloniki, and other urban areas.

Explore Investment Opportunities in Greece and Cyprus Real Estate

For those considering investments in Greece or Cyprus, the positive outlook in these markets offers promising opportunities. As the European Central Bank potentially lowers interest rates, the anticipated increase in local buyer activity, combined with an expanding supply of residential properties, is expected to balance the market, making it an ideal time for prospective buyers to explore options in these thriving Mediterranean regions.
