[Xenophon]

Prices have definitely gone up. Having said that the linked one is a bit special - 4 bed, 5 bathroom.

These prices seem rather expensive.

To Russians, who love Cyprus, that sort of money is pocket money. My buyer is Russian.

In the 90s it was a popular destination for all the mafia types, you sure are a brave man to get engaged into a big money transaction with a Russian. Make sure you have got a will and a life insurance, also leave all expensive items you wear to your wife if you are going to meet them, and under no circumstances agree to meet them near a swamp in a forest

Or he is telling tall tales...

DIm has made a fortune on UK property from his Swindon base. No reason to suspect he's not a global tycoon too...

Apparently in the 50s a B52 accidently dropped a nuke over Cyprus, but luckily it landed on a mud flat near a beach and failed to go off.

It was all hushed up at the time, and anyway was considered too dangerous to dig out, and they later built a load of villas on the site before the incident was declassified.

I remember an IT contractor who'd bought one being interviewed last year on some holiday program "A Place in the Sun" (?). He was moaning about being lumbered with the worthless thing for ever, and never being able to find a mug big enough to take it off his hands for the asking price.

Yes, I saw that too. Turned out it's buried in his back garden. In fact they're planning a documentary, to be called "A Place in 10,000 Suns?".
