FOREIGN BUYERS NOW BEHIND TWO IN FIVE CYPRUS PROPERTY DEALS - KNews 1/9

Paphos has overtaken Limassol as the island’s biggest foreign-buyer market, while growing demand adds another layer of competition for Cypriots trying to buy near the coast.


Foreign buyers signed more than 41% of all property sale contracts in Cyprus during the first seven months of 2026, meaning two out of every five deals now carry a foreign name.

The 41.3% share is the highest recorded in four years of Land Registry data and is up from 39.2% during the same period last year. Foreign purchases increased by 20.3%, comfortably outpacing the 14.1% growth recorded across the property market as a whole.

In a post on X on Monday afternoon, Netanyahu said the agreement was “a direct continuation of the Eastern Mediterranean alliance we forged a decade ago with Greece and Cyprus”.

“It serves as further proof of the immense capabilities of Israel’s defence and technology industries,” he said.

IS BRITAIN EXPANDING ITS MILITARY PRESENCE IN CYPRUS? - in-cyprus 1/9 by Theodosis Pipis

At the edge of Cyprus’s Akrotiri Peninsula, the landscape changes abruptly. Behind the salt marsh and protected wetlands, a forest of antennas rises from the ground. The site forms part of one of Britain’s most strategically important military and intelligence installations on the island.

Civil Defence has defended the timing of Saturday’s CY-Alert flood warning, which reached citizens’ phones at 12:15pm, after severe storms had already begun battering the island and killed one person. The warning drew questions and criticism after it was sent following the onset of the storms, with some people receiving it later still, and others not at all.
