Imagine a town, not too big and not too small, where modern shops and offices rub shoulders with traditional coffee shops and old stores, main thoroughfares with traffic lights are crossed by narrow streets towered over by old, venetian-style houses. Watch the old women wearing traditional black clothes working, gossiping or simply resting in the sun while the men sit outside the local coffee shops playing tavli (backgammon). Admire the style of the younger generation as they go by in the latest fashions.

Take all this and add beautifully constructed modern churches overlooking the crumbling architecture of the older places of worship, standing proudly beside their mellowed stone and fading mosaics. While you savour this rich mixture of ancient and modern, enjoy your coffee in a modern café while listening to the afternoon church service and the harmony of the church bells as they ring out across the old square. If you have all this, then you have Paralimni.

Paralimni has grown in recent years from a rural community into a progressive town, which now boasts an array of shops, boutiques, offices and restaurants. Although popularity and demand have caused expansion in the size of the town, it has managed to retain its rich cultural traditions and the main square still features cafes and churches, which reflect the characteristics of the old village. A Place where the old and the new seem to work in harmony, it's a town where you can enjoy the advantages of a traditional village and the conveniences of a contemporary town.

Paralimni is also ideally situated just a short drive from the cosmopolitan resorts of Kapparis, Protaras and Ayia Napa, which are home to some of the best beaches in Cyprus and as holiday destinations, appeals to all ages.
Paralimni is the largest town on the south-eastern coast and you can find just about anything here, including your perfect Cyprus apartment or luxury Cyprus villa.
