New Exhumation Process for Vasilis Michailidis' Remains
July 8, 2026
The exhumation of the national poet Vasilis Michailidis is reopening at the Saint Nicholas cemetery in Limassol. The Limassol District Court accepted the request for a new exhumation process aimed at identifying his remains. This process will be carried out based on new scientific guidelines and will include DNA testing. The previous attempt to locate the remains several months ago failed after three skeletons were found. Authorities hope this time they will achieve identification.
