Zygi started to develop rapidly as a coastal cottage settlement / resort during recent years. The clean sea breeze, the amazing natural environment of the region, and the deep blue, clear sea are the reasons that lead a lot of people into building their country houses/ cottages in the area. The whole tranquillity and harmony that prevails in the surrounding area provides an outlet for the pressure and stress of the large, modern urban centres.

During recent years, several cottages and apartments have been raised, roads have been made, and the services and infrastructure projects have expanded so as to serve both the permanent inhabitants and also the region's visitors.

Quite a few construction agencies build apartments and cottages in the area of Zygi, among them "Costas Michaelides Ltd", "Makis Afxentiou Ltd", and several other building contractors.


Today Zygi is a developing tourist village and the most known and renowned fishermen's village of Cyprus. There are many seafood-restaurants in the community, offering a large variety of fresh seafood.
