Northern Cyprus, or to be more precise, The Turkish Republic of North Cyprus, consists of an area of over 3,300 square miles. As the name suggests, this is the northern part of the island of Cyprus and is populated mainly by Turkish Cypriots with an increasing number of foreign nationals. Many of these are British people who have found the combination of a glorious climate and welcoming friendly locals, something too difficult to resist.
The north of Cyprus has not been exposed to the same degree of development as the southern side and there remain vast tracts of beautiful countryside and coastline that are almost untouched by modern civilisation.
An example of this is the Karpaz peninsular, sometimes called the Panhandle due to its shape. This area has virtually no industry and is one of the least polluted regions to be found in the European periphery.
As the world has woken up to this delightful treasure in the Mediterranean Sea, some development has inevitably taken place. To date, much of this has been in the area around Kyrenia which remains a beautiful area nestling below rugged mountains. Many foreign nationals have purchased land and

property in this region and it is a thriving area worthy of consideration by those seeking a home or property in the sun.
Perhaps of greater interest to those seeking to invest in North Cyprus, is the eastern side of the island where the stretch between the bustling town of Famagusta and the fore mentioned Karpaz, is now the focus of attention. Property prices here are still well below comparable properties in the south although the gap is closing quite quickly. This makes it an ideal time to invest being one of the few places in the Mediterranean where it is still possible to get on the property ladder closer to the bottom rung than the top. Busy Bees Estate Agents are based in the middle of this area of opportunity in the fishing village of Bogaz. This makes us well placed to offer our clients first hand advice and to liaise with local property developers and other industry key people.
Although still largely unspoiled, the TRNC is far from lacking in the essentials of modern living. There is a well structured banking system with close associations with leading foreign banks such as Barclays, HSBC and Natwest. A flexible approach allows you to set up an account in a choice of currencies, e.g. Turkish Lira, Pound Sterling, U.S.Dollars, Euro etc.
Medical facilities here have vastly improved over recent years and there are some excellent hospitals and medical centres in the major towns.
If you know of a better place to invest in property and lifestyle at this point in time, please let us in on the secret.
