Cyprus Plans €3.5 Billion in Infrastructure Projects From 2028
For anyone living in Cyprus or thinking about moving here, one practical question is how towns and villages will change over the next few years.
On 5 November 2026, President Nikos Christodoulides announced €3.5 billion in planned infrastructure and development projects across Cyprus. The announcement came during the opening of the renovated village square and historic centre in Koili, in the Paphos district.
What Is Planned Across Cyprus?
The programme is expected to draw €2.5 billion from European funding and €1 billion from Cyprus’s national budget. The government aims to have projects approved by September 2027, with work due to begin from January 2028.
The plans include improvements to roads, safer routes for people walking and cycling, and upgrades to public spaces. Local authorities and district organisations will need to prepare individual projects and secure the necessary approvals.
What Is Planned for Paphos?
The President outlined around €75 million in planned projects for the Paphos district. Kouklia, Peyia and Latchi were among the places mentioned. The proposals include road and safety improvements, better routes for pedestrians and cyclists, and work on public spaces.
If you are looking at a home in one of these areas, check which improvements are planned for that specific location. A safer crossing on your walk to the shops or a better route into the village can make a real difference to your daily routine.
What Has Already Changed in Koili?
The village of Koili, shows what this work can look like. The historic centre has been renovated with traditional stone paving, more accessible paths, improved rainwater drainage and utility lines moved underground. Planting and seating give residents and visitors places to stop and spend time in the square.
The local council has reported interest in opening cafés, tavernas and shops. If those businesses open, residents could have more places to eat and shop locally, and visitors would have more reasons to spend time in the village.
Choose an Area That Works for You
When comparing places to live in Cyprus, look at what you can use today. Try the drive to work or school, walk to the nearest shops and spend time in the village or neighbourhood at different times of day. If a planned improvement matters to your decision, check its approval status and expected timeline with the local authority.
