The highway that will connect Paphos with Polis is in the works, Phileleftheros reported on Monday. The two-lane highway will start from the existing Limassol-Paphos (A6) highway in Agia Marinouda and will pass through the villages of Marathounta, Armou, Tsada, Kallepia, Koili and Stroumpi.

Paphos police are looking for a man and a woman suspected of stealing 50 rings worth €20,000 from a jewellery shop while pretending to be prospective buyers.

The couple, both non-Cypriot, went into the shop as the shopkeeper was preparing to close for lunch and asked to look at various items.

Tuesday will start off partly cloudy with possible scattered showers and or thunderstorms, mainly in the mountains and in the north.

By the afternoon it is expected to become mainly cloudy with local rain and isolated storms in many parts of the island.

Thunderstorms may be accompanied by hail.
