Maybe the Cypriots should sell more land off to them then.......


To the Brits or Russians?

A few developers bought-up some years ago and they are the ones who have built the "enclaves". A lot of land was RoC land too. The big chunks that used to be developed with hundreds of little villas for Brits nowadays remain as big chunks which are bought by Russians for the odd one giant villa or Spa. That's preferable, surely?


I think it is you that is feeling insecure since you call forumers idiots (because 2 of them haven't been around recently :lol: )! Just relax! :wink:

If the Cypriots were not selling off their lands, then why is it that huge parcels are now in foreign ownership.

Face it! During the boom, many Cypriots (Paphian Peasants especially) couldn't wait to sell at huge prices so that they can buy a nice Benz! :lol:

Idiot!

Outdated fool ...


Always like a constructive point of view.......


I read Hawkins in 1995 ... she was out of date even then! :lol:


BTW - Lots of Cypriots still live in Neo Chorio. Many more have built villas that they rent out to Brits. Not all Brits own the villas they stay in. Hawkins bought a tiny frahti that a few goats grazed in. :wink:

I really like Neo Chorio. A lot of very happy memories there. The house I use to stay in has gone as well. :(

But it has changed a lot, and I'm not so sure I like the changes.

Argaka is still lovely.

Does Dawkins own property in Cyprus? :D

We stayed a few days in Neo Chorio in a dev of lovely hotel apartments 2-3 years ago.

Smashing place with a big pool. Friendliest and most welcoming of owners and the company of the other guests (mostly CYs) around the bar was great.

Can't remember the name of the place... just on the outskirts of the village on the road up from Latchi/Polis.

Yes, NeoChorio is well developed now (as are most places in Cyprus) but as you have alluded, a lot of the developments are still owned by Cypriots (apc and paph haven't a clue) and rented out to Brits etc.

As I am a permanent resident here and can name most landowners in the Polis/Latchi area I think I can pass comment .As well as living there and working there (not living off Dad's money/land) .....Why is there a block of flats in Neo Choria that is pure greed ...build something in keeping with the area not a block of fucking flats .........

People build according to their needs and means. It's capitalism. You're just sore for some personal deficiencies and accusing me of living off my land shows how much you know ... I haven't made a penny off my land as it's being used by a poorer person in the village for nothing. Idiot!
