September 1, 2025

The Alykes Park will be established on a 40,000 sq.m. site where the former leprosarium in Larnaca is located. At the center of the project will be the Environmental Awareness Center (EAC), which aims to provide information and promote the study of the important wetland of the area. After 15 years of delays, the project is moving forward, and an architectural competition has been announced. The park will feature paths, viewing spots, and benches for recreation and educational purposes. All interventions will respect environmental terms.
