About Demetri

Demetri Petrou is the founder of Spitiko Property Services, a Paphos-based property company serving owners, investors, builders and travellers across Cyprus. He writes from first-hand experience: he lives in Paphos, manages properties on the ground, and has worked the local market for years.

Before founding Spitiko, Demetri spent over a decade in corporate communications, creating content for global brands including Amazon, LEGO, Burberry, and Channel 4 in the UK. That craft now powers the Spitiko blog — clear, useful writing about Cyprus property from someone who actually lives the work.

Editorial standards

Every article on the Spitiko blog is written or reviewed by Demetri based on hands-on experience with the property, market, or location described. Where we cite numbers (yields, prices, regulations), we link to the underlying source (Cyprus Land Registry, Eurostat, government circulars) so readers can verify.
