2025 Sets a Positive Trend for Cyprus Real Estate

The real estate market in Cyprus has surged forward in 2025, marking a significant 15% increase in property sales compared to the previous year. This remarkable growth in the first quarter is highlighted by the 4,137 sale documents filed, as per reports from the Registration Council of Real Estate Agents.

While there was a slight decrease of 2.9% in transaction volume, the sales value saw a robust increase of 15%, surpassing €1.1 billion annually. This promising start to the year reflects sustained demand and better alignment of supply to market needs.

WISTA Cyprus Uses Music And Creativity To Bring The Sea Closer To The Next Generation

WISTA Cyprus brought members and their families together in Limassol for a children’s workshop focused on the Mediterranean monk seal, the sea, and the marine environment as part of its World Maritime Day 2026 activities.

A Creative Entry Point To Maritime Awareness

The workshop, titled Here Only Monachus, took place on September 19 at the Limassol Municipal Gallery and offered children an engaging introduction to the Mediterranean monk seal (Monachus monachus) through music, sound and creative activities.

Led by Rebecca Katsaris, associate educator at Enalia Physis, and music educator Christina Charalambidou, the session invited children to listen closely to the sounds of the sea, experiment with instruments and collaborate on creating their own musical piece.

Building Family Connections Around The Maritime World

For WISTA Cyprus president Anna Pittalis, the event was as much about community as it was about education.

“Our members came together not only as colleagues and professionals, but also as mums and dads, bringing their children with them,”

she said.

Pittalis added: “Our connection with the sea starts long before a career in maritime. It starts with curiosity, with discovering what is beneath the surface, and with learning to appreciate the world around us.”

Part Of A Broader Maritime Day Programme

The workshop formed part of WISTA Cyprus’ wider programme for World Maritime Day 2026, observed under the theme From Policy to Practice: Powering Maritime Excellence.

For the association, creating meaningful opportunities for younger generations to engage with the marine environment is also part of strengthening long-term ties to the maritime sector.
