Interior Ministry: High Recovery Costs from the 2025 Fires in Limassol District
November 20, 2025
The cost difference for recovery between the fires in Arakapas in 2021 and in the Limassol district in 2025 is enormous. The Minister of Interior stated that the recovery cost in Limassol is expected to reach €60 million, nearly 35 times higher than the fire in Arakapas. So far, over €4 million has been spent on recovery efforts. Compensation for businesses and agricultural damages will be additional to this amount. This highlights the dramatic increase in economic costs associated with major fires.
