We have been holidaying in eastern Cyprus for a number of years - primarily to visit my sister who is married to a Greek Cypriot.
We fell in love with the area, the weather and the people so decided as we would be visiting regularly in the future to purchase our own place so we could have more creature comforts than those provided by the hotel/apartments we had previously stayed in.
We decided to buy in Kapparis specifically as we felt it gave us everything we needed as a location for our holiday home.
It has fantastic local beaches, great bars and restaurants but still retains a more relaxed and less developed feel to it than the busier local resorts (however both Protaras and Ayia Napa are within easy reach if we fancied reliving our youth for a night or 2 during our stay!!)
