• Price Advantage: Early buyers “lock in today’s price” before construction starts. Developers typically offer discounted pre-construction or early-bird pricing, so apartments at Aura Konia are currently available at the bottom of the €235k–€395k range.
• Customization & Modern Design: Buying off-plan means you can personalize your new home. Domenica Group offers a range of high-quality finishes and design options for early buyers. For example, you may choose flooring, kitchen style or other fixtures to suit your taste. Because Aura Konia is brand-new construction, homes come with the latest energy-efficient systems (solar panels, insulation, modern appliances) and warranties, reducing future maintenance costs. Domenica notes that “the earlier you buy, the more flexibility you usually have” to tailor your unit.
• Flexible Payment Schedule: Presale properties often allow staged payments tied to construction milestones. Aura Konia’s payment plan lets you spread your investment over time as the building goes up, rather than one lump sum at purchase. This can improve cash flow for buyers. (For example, Domenica points out that off-plan buyers typically pay in stages, contract signing, foundation, brickwork, etc. offering flexibility and predictability.)
• Strong Developer Backing: Aura Konia is being built by Domenica Group, a reputable local developer with over 60 years’ experience. Importantly, Domenica self-finances all its projects. That means construction is backed by the company’s own capital, not just buyer deposits or outside funding. As Domenica explains, this strategy “ensures that construction progresses steadily from start to finish”. Self-financing adds confidence that the project will stay on schedule and meet high quality standards. It can also translate into cost savings (no excessive middleman mark-ups) and thus better value for buyers.
• Prime Unit Selection: Early presale buyers get first pick of the best units, the most desirable views, larger terraces or preferred floor plans. With only 8 apartments, Aura Konia is exclusive, so securing your unit now means choosing the top locations (for example, those with direct sea views or sun exposure).
• Capital Growth & Rental Upside: Cyprus real estate has been appreciating steadily, and Paphos is one of its hottest markets. According to Domenica, Paphos house prices rose about +13.4% in 2024. Buying at presale lets you benefit from this growth. In addition, Paphos enjoys strong tourist demand, so even as a resale or rental property, Aura Konia units can generate attractive returns.
• Residency Eligibility: For international buyers, Cyprus offers residency for property purchases ≥€300,000. Several top-floor apartments or combined purchases at Aura Konia may meet this threshold. Qualifying for Cyprus permanent residency adds major value, it grants visa-free travel in the EU and a path to citizenship, plus tax benefits.

Building your own home means juggling many tasks at once – from choosing and preparing the plot, to securing planning permission, hiring contractors, and overseeing every detail. In Cyprus, you must navigate local regulations (for example, Paphos sewer and utilities approvals) and follow EU building standards. As one expert notes, building a new home is a complicated and tedious endeavor without professional guidance. Doing it yourself can save builder fees, but it’s also very time-consuming and risky if you lack experience. 

• Permits and approvals: You must apply for zoning permission, building permits,  and utility connections (water, sewer, electricity). Missing a detail can cause costly delays. 
• Planning and budgeting: You need detailed floor plans, cost estimates, and a construction schedule. Unexpected issues (like design changes or cost overruns) often crop up. 
• Hiring trades and managing quality: You’ll oversee architects, builders, electricians, plumbers, etc. Without a track record, coordinating reliable subcontractors and ensuring high quality is challenging. As one building guide warns, “lack of experience can result in poor planning…unskilled subcontractors…structural defects”[3].

In short, the DIY route can save money only if you have exceptional expertise and time. Otherwise, the hidden costs and delays can mount. Industry experts caution that self-building often leads to surprises: “you may encounter dubious vendors or subcontractors…pay more than budgeted,” and projects can take far longer than planned.

Derived from the Greek “Εν οἴκῳ” (En oiko) meaning “at home” and the Latin “Mare” meaning “sea,” Eniko Mare poetically expresses the feeling of being at home by the sea. It’s not just a residence, it’s a state of mind, where the rhythm of the waves and the calm of the coast become part of everyday life.

Cypriot cuisine boasts a range of unforgettable dishes, each bursting with aroma and tradition. Here are a few classic favorites:

– Souvla: Imagine large chunks of pork or lamb, marinated simply in olive oil, lemon juice and herbs, slowly roasted on a charcoal rotisserie until the outside is crisp and smoky and the inside remains meltingly juicy. Souvla is often the centerpiece of Sunday gatherings or Easter feasts the meat falls off the bone and is served with lemon wedges, roasted potatoes and cool tahini or tzatziki sauces. The scent of garlic and rosemary fills the air, and digging into these succulent, charred morsels is a true Cypriot delight

– Grilled Halloumi: Cyprus’s famous cheese, made from sheep and goat milk, is tangy, salty and delightfully “squeaky.” Thick white slices are brushed with olive oil and grilled until golden, then drizzled with lemon and herbs. Hot off the grill, halloumi has a crispy exterior and a warm, springy interior it’s often served as part of a mezze alongside fresh tomatoes, cucumbers and mint. This simple cheese, “indigenous to Cyprus,” has been made here for centuries. The first bite of grilled halloumi is unforgettable: briny and savory, with hints of smoke and fresh Mediterranean herbs.

– Slow-Roasted Kleftiko: This dish (whose name means “stolen” in reference to bandit origins) features lamb marinated in garlic, lemon, and oregano, wrapped tightly (often in parchment or clay) and baked for hours until it becomes “fall-apart-tender”. Imagine a leg of lamb sealed in its own juices with potatoes, carrots and onions, emerging from the oven meltingly soft. The result is juicy lamb that literally melts in your mouth, infused with the warmth of rosemary and cumin. Kleftiko’s long, slow cooking yields a fragrant, rustic meal perfect for a cozy family Sunday dinner. (In mountain villages, goat is sometimes used instead of lamb for an earthy twist.)

– Koupepia (Stuffed Vine Leaves): These are Cyprus’s version of dolmades – tender vine leaves wrapped around a filling of minced pork or veal, rice, onions and lots of fresh herbs. In Cyprus, koupepia are simmered in a rich tomato sauce laced with lemon and even a touch of cinnamon. The tangy tomato and sweet-spicy cinnamon give them a unique aroma. Eaten hot or cold, the little bundles burst with tangy, herb-spiced meat and rice. Served as part of a meze or as an appetizer, they offer a delicious contrast of tender leaf and savory filling.

– Sheftalia: Think Cypriot sausage, but without a casing instead the meat is wrapped in caul fat. Traditional sheftalia is made from finely ground lamb or pork mixed with onions, parsley and pepper, then tightly enveloped in lace-like fat (the omentum) to keep everything juicy. Grilled over charcoal, the caul fat crisps up and imparts a nutty flavor, giving each patty a crisp, crusty exterior and a tender, spiced inside. The result is a lusciously fatty sausage bite, smoky and herb-flecked. (As Wikipedia notes, sheftalia “is made from caul fat… to wrap the ingredients rather than sausage casing”

– Loukoumades: No Cypriot feast is complete without these golden, honey-drizzled doughnuts. Loukoumades are small balls of dough, deep-fried until crisp and puffed, then immediately bathed in warm honey syrup and sprinkled with cinnamon or sesame seeds. They are “addictive,” warm and sweet, with a crisp shell giving way to a soft, airy center. Often served right from the pan, these bite-sized treats soak up the honey-soaked goodness: imagine each morsel dripping with gooey sweet spice. They’re perfect for finishing a meal or sharing at a village festival.

Lyra’s location is a key part of its appeal. Kissonerga is a charming coastal village just 8 km northwest of Paphos city centre. It sits about 112 m above sea level, surrounded by lush greenery and even historic banana plantations, offering scenic hillside landscapes. Despite its tranquility, Kissonerga is close to everything: a short drive (or even walk) takes you to local shops, tavernas and markets, and the golden beaches of Coral Bay are only a few minutes away. Domenica Group highlights Kissonerga’s “perfect balance of tranquility and convenience”, noting that buyers here enjoy village charm and easy access to Paphos amenities. 

Key benefits include: 

– Peaceful, Scenic Setting: Enjoy a quieter life amid Mediterranean nature. Kissonerga’s hilltop position provides beautiful vistas and a calm atmosphere. 

– Beach City Access: You’re never far from the coast or the city. The nearest beaches (including popular Coral Bay) are just minutes away, and Paphos town (shops, restaurants, international school, marina, airport) is easily reached in under 15 minutes by car. 

– Authentic Village Lifestyle: The village vibe is strong: local festivals, family-run tavernas and a friendly community mean you feel part of a real Cypriot village. Unlike in a crowded city, you’ll wake up to fresh sea breezes and starry skies.

 Together, these traits make Kissonerga a highly sought-after area. In fact, Domenica notes that demand here is so strong that their previous projects (Quattro and Aquarius) quickly sold out. As the area grows in popularity, properties here are poised for solid appreciation.

– Legacy of Excellence: Founded in 1961, Domenica is a trusted local, family-owned developer.

– Built-to-Last Quality: We use highest EU building standards, energy-efficient designs and premium materials 

– Full-Service Support: Our experts guide you through every step from finding a home to legal and tax matters.

– Luxury Amenities: Our communities include swimming pools, green spaces and modern comforts, as in our Sunset Villas. 

Each point above comes from our decades of experience and solid reputation. We pride ourselves on a personal approach: as Domenica’s Chairman puts it, “Whether you are buying for investment or for your own use… we will provide you with all the relevant information you need and make the entire process a simple and enjoyable one”. In short, we measure success by “the number of smiling happy faces” our projects create for clients.

The property price is only the starting point. Buyers must also consider legal fees, taxes, registration costs, and other charges associated with completing the purchase. In Cyprus, legal fees typically cover contract preparation or review, due diligence, and registration. These are generally around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT. Transfer fees depend on the property value, and VAT applies to new builds, with reduced rates in certain cases.

Tip for buyers: Understanding all costs upfront ensures there are no surprises when completing your purchase. Working with an experienced lawyer is essential. We provide full transparency in all contracts and legal documents and can connect buyers with trusted independent lawyers who specialise in supporting both local and international clients.

A strong investment property goes far beyond “sea view” or being close to shops. When buying, you should assess four key elements: rental yield potential (both short and long-term), long-term capital appreciation, ease of resale, and nearby infrastructure growth (e,g. new roads, schools, or commercial development). A beautiful property in the wrong part of town is not a great investment.

·       Construction follows a planned schedule: With internal funding, projects advance according to clearly defined milestones: contract signing, foundation work, frame completion, brickwork, floor laying and final delivery. Buyers can be confident that construction will not be delayed by funding issues or reliance on outside investors.

·       Financial stability and reduced risk: Self-financing provides a solid financial foundation. Projects are less vulnerable to market fluctuations, investor delays, or changes in pre-sale demand. This gives buyers confidence that construction will continue steadily, even during challenging economic conditions.

·       Transparency and predictability: When the developer controls the finances, communication around timelines, payments, and progress is straightforward.

·       Buyers know exactly what to expect at each stage, reducing uncertainty and making the buying process smoother and less stressful.

·       Confidence in delivery: Knowing that a project is self-financed allows buyers to focus on choosing the right property, planning their lifestyle, or making investment decisions, without worrying about whether the development will be completed on time.

In addition to self-financing, we design, license and construct all of our projects through our own construction company which brings further advantages for buyers:

·       Direct quality control: We oversee every stage of construction ourselves, ensuring the highest standards and attention to detail.

·       Cost efficiency: Internal construction reduces unnecessary mark-ups, allowing us to offer buyers the best possible price without compromising quality.

·       Flexibility and customisation: Buyers can choose finishes and materials. In-house control ensures that these options are realistic and do not delay construction.

·       Efficient problem-solving: Any challenges that arise are addressed immediately, without waiting on third-party contractors or investor approvals, keeping projects on track.

Owning our construction company complements our self-financing approach: while self-financing secures the project financially, in-house construction guarantees quality, flexibility, and efficiency throughout the building process. Together, they give buyers maximum confidence in their investment and a better value for money property.

For buyers, these advantages translate into real peace of mind. Whether purchasing off-plan or early in a project’s development, you can be confident that your property will progress according to plan, maintain high quality, and meet delivery timelines.

Combined with our over 64 years of experience, self-financing and in-house construction ensure that each property is delivered with quality, reliability, and transparency, giving buyers confidence in their investment every step of the way.

Choosing a self-financed project is about reducing risk, increasing confidence, and ensuring quality from start to finish. Buyers can focus on selecting the right property and planning their lifestyle or investment strategy, knowing the development is secure, professionally managed, and progressing exactly as planned.
