The Department of Antiquities, Ministry of Transport, Communications and Works announced that on May 14, a reliquary case stolen from the Agios Mamas Church located in occupied Morfou was returned to its rightful owner, in Dusseldorf, Germany.

With a common goal to promote Cyprus’ gastronomy and local products, the Deputy Ministry of Tourism and the Cyprus Chefs Association (CCA) will organise between May 06 - 12, the ‘Cyprus Breakfast and Brunch Week’.

The Department of Antiquities, Ministry of Transport, Communications and Works, announced that ICOMOS Cyprus and the Department of Antiquities with the support of National Commission for UNESCO co-organised an event entitled ‘The Drywall Rural Landscape’, as part of the celebrations of the International Day for Monuments and Sites, which took place at the village of Omodos.

The tourist product of the Larnaca region is constantly being upgraded and enriched. The region believes that improving the infrastructure is very important because by improving the image of the communities and by upgrading the various services and facilities, the visibility of the destination is also enhanced.

In addition, the most important aspect is the preservation of the specific character of each community through the upgrading projects. The objective of gaining a comparative advantage for the destination can only be achieved through the promotion of its authentic identity and its particular local characteristics.

A raft of projects that are starting or continuing during the year will bring exciting upgrades to some of Larnaca’s most popular rural and coastal communities.
