Frenaros is an inland farming village in the south-east of Cyprus, and about 2,900 people a month search for it. Most want to know what a house or plot there actually costs. We looked at every Frenaros listing on index.cy in November 2026 and priced them, so the figures below come from real asking prices rather than estimates.
The short answer is that Frenaros is a three-bedroom-house market. We priced 68 properties for sale: 43 houses, 17 plots, 4 buildings, 2 apartments and 2 unclassified adverts. The median asking price across all types is EUR300,000. The median three-bedroom house asks EUR321,000, the median plot EUR120,000, and the two apartments ask EUR155,000 and EUR178,000. We also found 2 rentals. This guide walks through the numbers and ends with the checks worth making before you pay a deposit.
Where Frenaros Is and Why Buyers Look at It
According to Wikipedia, Frenaros is a village in Famagusta District, roughly four miles west of Paralimni and nine miles north-west of Ayia Napa. It had 4,298 residents at the 2011 census. It belongs to the Kokkinochoria, or red villages, named for their red soil, and is known for potatoes and watermelons, with a large industrial estate on its outskirts. Its old church of Archangel Michael dates to the 12th century, and a watermelon festival is held each year at the village stadium.
That inland position, a short drive from the resorts but not part of them, explains the price profile below. For the wider picture, read our Famagusta property guide and browse all Famagusta properties for sale. Neighbouring village guides include Liopetri, Sotira and Avgorou.

What 68 Frenaros Listings Show About the Market Mix
Unlike the beach resorts nearby, Frenaros has almost no apartment market. Houses make up nearly two thirds of sale adverts, and land is a large niche.
| Listing type | Listings | Share of 68 sale adverts |
|---|---|---|
| Houses for sale | 43 | 63% |
| Plots of land for sale | 17 | 25% |
| Buildings for sale | 4 | 6% |
| Apartments for sale | 2 | 3% |
| Unclassified adverts | 2 | 3% |
| Properties for rent | 2 | separate rental adverts |
Many adverts repeat. Across 68 priced sale listings there are only 35 different asking prices, and some appear again and again: EUR300,000 twelve times and EUR330,000 seven times. That points to the same units in the same developments being advertised several times, so the number of distinct properties is lower than 68. We kept repeats in the counts because each is a separate advert, and every figure here is an asking price, not a sold price.
Houses in Frenaros: Median EUR310,000
Three-bedroom houses are the core of the market, with 34 listings from EUR260,000 to EUR392,000 and a median of EUR321,000. Two-bedroom houses follow with 7 listings from EUR287,000 to EUR349,000. There is one four-bedroom house at EUR475,000 and one house with six or more bedrooms at EUR1,450,000.
| House size | Listings | Price range | Median |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 bedrooms | 7 | EUR287,000 to EUR349,000 | EUR299,950 |
| 3 bedrooms | 34 | EUR260,000 to EUR392,000 | EUR321,000 |
| 4 bedrooms | 1 | EUR475,000 | EUR475,000 |
| 6+ bedrooms | 1 | EUR1,450,000 | EUR1,450,000 |
Across all 43 houses the median asks EUR310,000. Notice that a two-bedroom house barely costs less than a three-bedroom one, so the third bedroom is cheap to add at these prices.

If you like older stone homes, our traditional village houses guide covers the renovation side.
Apartments and Buildings in Frenaros
Only two apartments are listed, both with two bedrooms: one asks EUR155,000 and the other EUR178,000. With so few, treat them as a sign of supply rather than a market price. Two further adverts give no property type and ask EUR315,000 and EUR325,000.
Four buildings are also for sale, from EUR108,000 for a 210 m2 building to EUR525,000 for a 620 m2 one, with a median of EUR269,000. A 450 m2 building asks EUR430,000. These suit buyers with a commercial or conversion idea, but check the permitted use first, since an old building does not always carry the right to convert or extend.
How Much Does Property Cost in Frenaros? Budget Bands
It helps to see how many of the 68 priced sale listings sit under each ceiling.
| Budget ceiling | Sale listings at or under it |
|---|---|
| EUR150,000 | 12 |
| EUR200,000 | 14 |
| EUR300,000 | 40 |
| EUR350,000 | 59 |
| EUR400,000 | 64 |
| EUR500,000 | 66 |
In other words, EUR300,000 buys one of 40 listings, more than half the total, and EUR350,000 reaches 59. Most of the cheapest listings are land: of the 12 listings at EUR150,000 or less, the plots and one building account for most. Demand is rising across the country: Cyprus Mail reported 13.7% more property sale contracts nationally in the first eight months of 2026 than a year earlier.
Plots of Land in Frenaros
Land is where Frenaros differs most from the resort villages. There are 17 plots, from EUR35,000 to EUR295,000, with a median of EUR120,000. Most are large farming parcels. The cheapest is an 11,233 m2 plot at EUR35,000, while a 20,857 m2 plot and a 12,514 m2 plot both ask EUR295,000. A 1,338 m2 plot asks EUR50,000.
Asking price per square metre varies enormously, so do not compare plots on total price alone. Before you buy, check whether the land is in a building zone, what density is allowed, and whether there is road and utility access. Agricultural land can carry strict limits on building. Our Land Registry guide explains how to verify a plot, and you can widen the search through plots of land for sale in Cyprus.
Renting in Frenaros
We found only 2 rentals in November 2026, both studio apartments, asking EUR350 and EUR450 per month. That is far too thin a sample to set a rent level, and we found no rental adverts for houses, so we cannot estimate a rental yield for a typical three-bedroom home. If you are thinking of buying to let, ask local agents for real tenancy evidence before relying on a figure. Our buy-to-let guide covers how to test one properly.
Who Frenaros Suits, and Who Should Look Elsewhere
The listings point to three kinds of buyer. Families wanting space on a modest budget can choose from 34 three-bedroom houses, mostly around EUR300,000 to EUR330,000. Buyers with a long-term view may consider land, since 17 plots start from EUR35,000. Buyers who want a small apartment will find almost nothing.
It is a weaker fit for anyone wanting a beach, a rental market or an easy resale to holidaymakers. For a coastal alternative nearby see our Kapparis guide, Deryneia or Paralimni.
Practical Checks Before Buying Property in Frenaros
Start with the title. Ask whether the title deed is issued, whether there is a mortgage or lien, and whether the building has a certificate of final approval. Our title deeds guide and due diligence guide list the documents to request. With so many repeated prices, ask the agent which unit in a development is actually being offered and whether it is still available.
Then check the numbers. Budget for the full cost: transfer fees, VAT on new builds, legal fees and a survey. Compare mortgage options in our financing guide. For a specific home, our inspection service can check it before you commit, and our instant property report helps place an asking price in context.
