Latchi wellness resort closes over licence wrangle
The owner of a well-known holiday village in Latchi has hit back over claims and action taken by the present tenant which resulted in the closure of the venue in September due to a wrangle over licences.

Property owner and lawyer, Leonidas Georgiou told the Cyprus Mail on Monday that all necessary licences were in place when the resort started operating in 1982 and until it was handed over in 2012.

Maronas Time Warp
