Two historical mountain properties go under the hammer
September 12, 2018
Two historical properties, reminders of a bygone era and only a stone’s throw from each other in Prodromos village Limassol, went under the hammer on Tuesday at the behest of the Bank of Cyprus but only one was sold, and it wasn’t the abandoned Berengaria Hotel.
The house that was sold on Tuesday was owned in the past by well-known Princess Zena Kanther De Tyras, a woman who was born into poverty in a Paphos village, and rescued by an American millionaire after working as a cabaret dancer in Nicosia. Kanther, after whom a Nicosia street is named, died in July 2012 at the age of 90.
Described on the BoC property website Remu as being some 450 metres northwest of the Berengaria, the property consists of two adjacent fields and a two-storey house situated in Mazi in Prodromos village.
