Why This Matters for Buyers
- A property in Potamos Germasogeia (tourist strip) costs 30% more than one in Mesa Geitonia (inland suburb) — both are "Limassol"
- Agios Athanasios is NOT a neighborhood — it's a full municipality with its own mayor, schools, and zoning rules
- Properties advertised as "Limassol" without specifying the municipality could be anywhere in a 30km radius
