Mandria is a very attractive village which is undergoing upgrading with new restaurants and the village square is being smartened up.
Although close to the airport it is only noisy if you are right near the beach as flights come in over the coast.
Most homes in Mandria are at least a few hundred metres inland and not really bothered by the flight path.
The thing to be very aware of is that much of the land in mandria is Turkish Cypriot owned and cannot be built on but the local farmers can use it for growing crops. This means that there is a lot of land which is not build up making it a less crowded area than some.
