The Minister of Agriculture Costas Kadis presented today at the Presidential Palace the progress of the Sustainable Development Plan for the Akamas National Park in the presence of President Anastasiades, assuring that the park will be operational before the end of 2022.

“Our sustainable development plan together with the Ministry of Interior’s parallel plan for the Akamas communities will solve the most important problems faced by the local communities as well as Cypriot society as a whole,” Kadis said, adding that the project — to be delivered in 2022 — will upgrade visitors’ experience of the area, boost domestic tourism, and rejuvenate the local communities via its contribution to the economy.

I do hope that any structures ther build and "improvements" to the road network, such as it is, does not damage or detract from the beauty of the Akamas. I also hope that the proposed "Mythos" Theme Park does not encroach on the protected area.

I hope so too! But we’ll have to wait and see. But building a ‘Theme Park’ is likely to be visible. It would probably look better if most of the buildings are built with traditional materials and have stone faced walls, terracottas roof tiles and wood. Not steel, concrete and adorned with plastic in lurid colours! But Probably wishful thinking....

Not all theme parks look like Disneyland.
