2010 to be landmark year for Cyprus Property in Ireland
We marked the start of our 2010 campaign in Ireland at the Burlington Hotel on Tuesday 9th March. His Excellency Sotos A. Liassides, Ambassador of the Republic of Cyprus to Ireland opened the event, highlighting the ever closer ties between Cyprus and Ireland and the initiatives to be carried out in 2010.
Cyprus and Ireland have always had a close affinity. With the announcement by Cyprus Airways of direct flights from Dublin in 2010, we believe that Cyprus will become even more popular, both as a holiday destination and for purchasing property. To this end we have created tailored packages for our Irish clients, including 5 year guaranteed rentals and flexible financial terms.
Renowned for its quality and flexibility, Pafilia is pioneering tailored packages in Cyprus. Rather than the traditional one solution fits all, we are focusing on delivering what the customer wants. If the client is looking for investment, or a holiday home, then they may be interested in rental guarantees. If they are looking to escape permanently to the Cyprus lifestyle then a better solution may be one of our furniture packs, flexible finance terms or one of our other options. They may prefer a ready, or an off-plan property. Whichever they choose, we will tailor a specific package for them.

Pafilia brings Flower Power to Pafos on International Womens Day
Pafilia Property Developers celebrated International Womens Day today by giving each of its female employees a hand delivered single red rose. Almost 100 female employees, including executive director Evangelia Eliadou, gathered together at the company’s head office in Pafos, Cyprus to mark this important day.
According to Evangelia Eliadou, “With so many female employees here at Pafilia, women obviously play an important role both now and in the future. I feel proud that we have so many in senior and managerial roles and that our voice is heard. Representing at least 15 different nationalities, we embody the International character of Pafilia. I believe that it complements both the Global nature of our business and our family ethos, while adding to our desire to provide the best in customer service.”
Pafilia’s Russian and Ukrainian offices celebrated International Womens Day as an official Bank Holiday, with many of the company’s 20 offices around the globe replicating the activities in Cyprus.
This follows on from the special Breast Cancer Awareness day Pafilia hosted at the end of last year for its female employees. The main focus of the event, as well as introducing the Sunflower service, was a series of seminars in Greek and then English, by Dr Demetris Charalambides, general surgeon at the Iasis Hospital. Over 50 women attended the seminars of varying ages and nationalities and many have signed up for the Sunflower service.
Together, these form just a small part of the company’s ongoing Corporate Social Responsibility Programme.

Cyprus property gets a boost as Pafilia opens an office in Saudi Arabia
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) has a great deal of potential for Pafilia Property Developers and its Cyprus properties, especially Minthis Hills, where its exquisite luxury villas and bungalows are very attractive to Saudi Arabians and expats. Therefore, it made perfect sense to open up our first office in the Middle East, in Jeddah, KSA.
As a company, we have a strategy of establishing local offices in key geographies, enabling us to provide local support and knowledge in the local languages. This now joins our Global network of offices, including London, Moscow, St Petersburg, Kiev, Dublin and Chania. Leading these our activities in KSA is Kyriazi Anghelopoulos, who has been appointed as Saudi Arabia area manager. He has an enormous amount of valuable experience in this region. We will be working very closely together to ensure we achieve our vision for the area.
The occasion was inauguration ceremony where our partner in KSA, Sheikh Mohammed Bakhashwain, and I signed the contracts for the office. This was followed by our first invitation only Pafilia seminar held at the Hilton, which was highly successful.
Cyprus is new to Saudi Arabians, but there are very strong reasons why we believe that we can provide expatriates and Saudi Arabians alike with what they desire; attractive holiday homes or investment property in an EU country which has a warm and pleasant climate, mountains, sea and so much more while being just a short flight away. Cyprus and Saudi Arabia each have a rich cultural heritage going back to ancient times, while having all the advantages of a modern cosmopolitan society.
Another aspect in the attraction of Pafilia’s Cyprus properties is that the Government has announced that non-EU citizens investing a minimum of €300,000 in property in Cyprus are highly likely to be granted an immigration permit, which is equivalent to a permanent residence permit. There will no longer be a need for visas or renewal of residency permits for non-EU citizens and owners will gain almost the same rights as Cypriot citizens.
In addition, Cyprus is the perfect place to enjoy life to its full. As well as its climate, Cyprus has a very relaxed lifestyle that removes the stress of everyday life. The low crime rate and family oriented culture create a safe and secure environment where your children can play outside without worrying. This is supplemented by an excellent education system, first class healthcare and state-of-the-art infrastructure. Cyprus is also an International business centre, where there are Inward Investment initiatives and where you can set up a company easily. It has low or zero taxation and bilateral tax treaties with a vast variety of countries, providing a gateway into the EU.
