Energy Minister George Papanastasiou recently emphasized Cyprus as a burgeoning hub for energy investments. Speaking at the Capital Link Cyprus business forum in New York, Papanastasiou highlighted the island’s strategic location, which is nestled close to Africa and the Middle East, while also being a member of the European Union.
International ratings agencies have bolstered Cyprus’ credibility with recent credit rating upgrades. According to Papanastasiou, such enhancements in financial stature make Cyprus difficult to overlook on the global stage.
While the natural gas reserve in Cyprus’ exclusive economic zone (EEZ) holds great promise, Papanastasiou pointed out infrastructure as the current bottleneck. Efforts are underway to mitigate energy costs and maximize the potential wealth from these reserves. Recent agreements with Egypt further fortify these ambitions, positioning Egypt as a ‘host government’ to refine and transport natural gas efficiently.
Cyprus is also at the forefront of the ambitious Great Sea Interconnector project, which aims to link Cyprus, Greece, and Israel’s electricity grids. Despite geopolitical risks and recent disruptions by Turkish warships, international interest remains robust. The government’s pending decision on financial contributions may shape the project’s future and underscores the urgency highlighted by Greek Energy Minister Theodoros Skylakakis.
As the Mediterranean island ventures into new agreements and collaborative projects, it simultaneously monitors a volatile global trade landscape.
bbf: Presents :eden coast — The Art Of Living By The Mediterranean
Some destinations are remembered for where they are. Others for how they make us feel.
Life by the Mediterranean has a quality of its own. Defined by light, open horizons and a slower pace, it encourages a way of living where time is measured less by the clock and more by the moments that matter. It is this philosophy that inspired :eden coast.
With the unveiling of :eden coast, bbf: introduces an exceptional collection of beachfront villas in Geroskipou, Paphos, where architecture is conceived as a natural extension of its surroundings. Every residence has been designed to honour the coastline, allowing the sea, the light and the changing seasons to become the defining elements of everyday life.
At :eden coast, luxury reveals itself with quiet confidence so nothing feels excessive. It is expressed in generous space, carefully composed proportions, enduring materials and an effortless relationship between interior and exterior. Expansive glazing welcomes the Mediterranean sky indoors, while private gardens, terraces and pools encourage a life lived as much outside as within.
Few locations offer such a natural balance between tranquillity and connectivity. Set along a quieter stretch of Paphos’ coastline, :eden coast enjoys the rare privilege of beachfront living away from the crowds, where the landscape remains unspoilt and the rhythm of the Mediterranean shapes every day. Yet the cultural richness of Paphos, its vibrant dining scene, international airport and every modern convenience are all within easy reach, allowing residents to retreat into complete serenity without ever feeling removed from the world around them.
Beyond the residences, a carefully curated collection of wellness and leisure experiences extends this philosophy. Landscaped gardens, elegant swimming pools, spaces dedicated to movement and wellbeing, and thoughtfully designed communal areas encourage a slower, richer way of living. They are not amenities in the conventional sense; they are an expression of a lifestyle shaped by balance, privacy and quiet sophistication.
“Our ambition was never simply to create beautiful residences. It was to create a place where architecture, landscape and everyday life exist in complete harmony—a place that feels as though it has always belonged to the coastline,”
says Artem Burtsev at bbf:.
In a world that rarely slows down, :eden coast offers something increasingly rare: the freedom to live at a different pace. Here, mornings begin with the sea, nature sets the rhythm of the day, and the energy of Paphos is always within easy reach. It is a place where tranquillity and connectivity exist in perfect balance, allowing residents to experience the Mediterranean not as a destination, but as a way of life.
