The Pyla Village Resort was completed in February / March 2007. Unlike other complexes built since then, Pyla Village Resort is one of the most spacious. In each block there are eight separate blocks with 20 apartments. This amounts to a total of 160 apartments. The resort is located in a rural area, but how long it will remain will depend on how quickly the area is developed.
Pyla 1 was the original name given to the site, because it was the first development of G. N. Hassapis in Peel. Hassapis is one of the most respected developers in this part of Cyprus, and anyone who wants to buy property in Cyprus can be sure that if they buy property in the development of Hassapis, they are dealing with a bone collection company, and the quality of construction is guaranteed,
Beginning with the construction of Pyla 1, Pyla Palms was built side by side, and a third section is being built next to this resort called Pyla Gardens (phase I), and another complex is planned in an adjacent site / area, which is probably Pyla Gardens (phase II) . Around the outskirts of the old village of Pyla, there are buildings designed for new developments on which villas and apartments were built or are being built. Larnaca and the surrounding area are the main access point in Cyprus for the purchase of real estate, as there are many plans to develop the area to attract tourism and investment. Now there are plans to create a theme park by the Russians, and I understand that these plans have been adopted, but when construction starts; who knows?
The authorities have long talked about the golf course in the area. There are plans to develop a golf course in Tereseffana, and, despite the fact that apartments are built in this area, there are no signs of a golf course. Most likely, it will be completed by the end of 2010.
The resort of Pyla Village is built to modern standards. The apartments were finished to high standards, and apartments available for holidays were furnished to high standards, depending on the taste of the owners and travel companies. The water supply in Pyla is very good and lasts for most of the time, while other regions of Cyprus suffer from long interruptions in water supply.
Pyla Village Resort was built with disabilities, and wheelchairs can easily move around the facility, and all apartments have elevators. The toilet by the pool is also designed for wheelchair access. Two years have passed, and the resort still looks good, the grounds are managed and, as a rule, are kept neat and tidy and watered with an irrigation system. Unfortunately, some of the original tall palm trees have died and need replacing.
Buffer zone: Pyla Village Resort was built in the buffer zone. This is a zone patrolled by United Nations peacekeeping forces. Being in the buffer zone & # 39; does not affect people. Comings and exits when using the resort. You can see the elevated plateau in the north, the Turkish flag and the army viewing platforms overlooking Pila Square. To the east on the hill you can see the UN flag and see. You can easily cross North Cyprus at the border crossing to the north of the village.
Another British military base is Akrotiri south of Limassol. The only problem with being in the buffer zone is that you are not allowed to take pictures. One UN official told me that villagers do not like photography. Since the Pyla Village Resort is located in the buffer zone, this means that, strictly speaking, residents should not take pictures of the resort. I do not think anyone could be challenged, although some of the UN staff remain at the Pyla Village Resort. This is not all appropriate, especially if you are driving to the Pyla Village Resort from Dhekelia road, but there are a few signs around (some of which are in poor condition) that prohibit taking photographs.
There is still tension between the Greek Cypriots and the Turkish Cypriots, who coexist in the village of Pyla and tolerate each other. The separation is still obvious, as you have noticed that some buildings have a Turkish letter written on them. The separation is very impressive when you see that there are two schools in Pyla; one for Turkish Cypriot children and one for Greek Cypriot children. They differ in that they have a national flag flying over the school.
The resort of Pyla Village cannot be installed in the most beautiful part of Cyprus; for this you need to go to the west side of the island around Paphos and the northwest, including the Troodos Mountains. For obvious reasons, the north side of the island is inaccessible, although if you go to Nicosia, the border will open and you can go to the northern part of the city. The north side of the island is still under Turkish occupation, although visitors may cross, but you are not allowed to rent a car.
The Paphos region was highly developed, and property prices in this part of the island are much higher. Pyla is located approximately 15 kilometers east of Larnaca, with easy access to the motorway, which quickly takes you to other parts of Cyprus. Ayia Napa on the east side of the island is just 20 minutes away by car and is easily accessible if you want to go there to be part of the nightlife. Nicosia is 40 minutes away by car and Limassol is one hour away. Paphos takes about 2 hours by car.
Larnaca Airport: Pyla Village is only 15-20 minutes from Larnaca Airport when you are on the highway. The airport was expanded, and a new terminal building was opened, more than twice the capacity of the old terminal. This is a sign of planned improvements taking place in the Larnaca region, where eventually golf courses and an expanded marina and ugly oil terminals will appear. When all this happens, who knows, but at least there are plans.
Driving in Cyprus: Cyprus is a popular destination for the British. This is good for the British and other countries that drive on the left; since Cyprus traffic is on the left. Traffic signs are the same as you see across Europe, but what makes driving something difficult is that the signs are in Greek. Not being able to read in Greek, I find navigation much harder. Drivers from the UK will find in Cyprus a reliable direct. You need to keep an eye on Cypriot drivers, since the level of accidents is quite high.
Since the annual mileage for a car is relatively low in Cyprus, cars should only have a TOT check every two years; Another reason why Cyprus is a country with a relatively low cost of living, especially compared to the UK.
Signs of recovery: The whole world has suffered some degree from the economic downturn. Signs now show recovery is on the way. This means that Cyprus must again see the growth of tourism. It was especially hard for the British that the British pound fell in value against the euro and made Cyprus much more expensive for the British holidaymaker. Now the pound is showing signs of recovery against the euro, and this should encourage the British vacationer to come to Cyprus again. Even if the British were badly hit, it will not stop visitors from the rest of the world by visiting Cyprus and deciding to stay at the Pyla Village Resort.
During periods of recession, as is known, the crime rate increases. One thing about Cyprus is that the crime rate is low. This does not mean that you should not worry about your things being stolen, you should still take precautions and not leave valuables in sight and be tempted by thieves. The fact that Cyprus has a low crime rate means that you will have less chance of something stolen.
