The creation of the Archaeological Park in Larnaca is delayed due to bureaucracy and landowner objections. The project includes the unification of significant archaeological sites and was supposed to start in 2024, but the process has not progressed. Local authorities express concern about the delays and the lack of information regarding the project's status. The Deputy Minister of Culture has requested assistance from local authorities to expedite the expropriations. This situation has serious implications for Larnaca's cultural heritage.
