Criticism of Authorities for Private Event in Agios Georgios Peyias

August 28, 2025

State Authorities and the Akamas Municipality are facing strong criticism for allowing a private party in Agios Georgios Peyias, an area protected under the Natura 2000 network. The Audit Office stresses that necessary permits were not obtained and criticizes the authorities for inaction despite warnings. The mayor of Akamas argues that the municipality's events have not previously raised objections and accuses specific NGOs of targeting them. The issue is currently under investigation and legal repercussions could follow. The President of the Paphos District Authority dismisses concerns about environmental issues as excessive.
