Delay in the Construction of Desalination Unit in Ayia Napa
February 28, 2026
The desalination unit in Ayia Napa has been relocated due to local opposition. This will delay the project's completion until 2027, risking water shortages in the area. Local authorities and hoteliers have taken responsibility for any delays. The initial plan was to build the unit at Nissi beach, but the new location at Agia Thekla beach presents additional challenges. Overall, urgent solutions are needed for the water supply in the region.
