Reactions to the Construction of New Shopping Centers in Limassol
October 15, 2025
Two new shopping centers are set to be built in Limassol, causing serious concerns among local shopkeepers and residents. Critics highlight the economic pressure this will impose on local businesses and the potential increase in traffic. Municipal councilor Kristis Dimitriou called the situation absurd, noting that the market is already saturated. He also suggested that the malls be built outside the city limits, such as in Pentakomo, to avoid negative impacts on historic shopping areas. These concerns are based on past experiences of malls harming existing commercial centers in other cities.
