A consortium headed up by one of Cyprus' biggest property developers, the Leptos Group, has won its bid to build the new Paphos Marina.

A spokesperson for Leptos told the Overseas Property Professional Magazine that the marina project would cost over 70 million euros to build and include a substantial residential component, leisure facilities and a 1,000 boat capacity.

The winning consortium, alongside Leptos, is made up of Cybarco, JNP Avax, Francoudi & Stephano and Athena & KAT.

Cypriot Town Minister Antonis Michaelides said that the contract to build a new marina in Agia Napa is also due to be awarded soon and that the Ministry is in 'advamced negotiations' for the 600-berth development.

The Cypriot government hopes that the new marinas will give it the edge over Israel, Greece and Turkey as the region's sailing hub.
