as towns Nicosia* is leading with an average of 6.7% and Paphos** is
last with 4.9%.

capital and the largest town in Cyprus but also has many universities and
colleges that lead to an increase in demand for rental properties.
** Paphos even though it
has higher rental rates than Famagusta the rental return is
lower due to the fact that properties in Paphos are more expensive.
