Property management Ayia Napa and Protaras: tenants, repairs and the owner's taxes

We find and check tenants for your property in Ayia Napa and Protaras through a licensed estate agent, handle repairs and bills, and take care of the rental tax where needed.

Property management in Ayia Napa and Protaras is often holiday let management: many homes on this coast are holiday lets and long-term listings are scarce. A holiday let must be on the Deputy Ministry of Tourism's register, with its number in every advert, so we file that application with your authorisation; the fee is €222 per property for three years. Between guests we keep the water account with EOAA in Paralimni and the electricity account with EAC Supply in Paralimni in order.

Renting in Ayia Napa and Protaras now

INDEX.cy describes the Paralimni-Protaras-Ayia Napa corridor as the most affordable coastal rental market but notes that many properties are holiday lets; its 2026 guide gives asking rents of €600-900 a month for a one-bedroom, €900-1,400 for a two-bedroom and €1,300-1,900 for a three-bedroom. Long-term listings are scarce: fewer than ten one-bedroom flats were listed in any area except Ayia Napa over the last 12 months, so we do not publish area medians. Leases are usually for one year with a deposit of one to two months' rent.

Figures checked 23 October 2026. Rules change: we confirm them for your case before you act.

Questions

Short or long lets?

Short lets need registration with the Deputy Ministry of Tourism; long lets do not go through this register.

Do I need a licence for short-term rentals in Cyprus?

Villas, houses and flats let short-term must be entered in the Deputy Ministry of Tourism register and get a registration number. The number must appear in all adverts and related transactions, and the Deputy Ministry may inspect.

How much does short-let registration cost in Cyprus?

€222 per property for every three years, paid via JCC once the application is approved.

Can a property manager register my property for me?

Yes. An operator can apply with the owner's authorisation; both individuals and companies may apply.

Do I pay tax on short-let income in Cyprus?

Yes. Operators must pay income tax and VAT where it applies, and local overnight-stay charges where applicable.
