CORAL BAY BEACH IS ''LOSING'' 500 BEDS DUE TO LOSS OF SAND

 

CORAL BAY BEACH IS ''LOSING'' 500 BEDS DUE TO LOSS OF SAND - Pafos Press 10/7

The sea is “swallowing” the sand on the golden beach of Coral Bay in Paphos. The phenomenon is not new since it occurred again 10 years ago, mainly due to weather conditions.

Mayor Akamas spoke on Mesimeri and Kati, who said that due to the phenomenon, the Municipality moved approximately 500 beds due to the removal of sand. The beach has shrunk significantly this year, said Marinos Lambrou.

Former MP for the Ecologists, Charalambos Theopemptou, also spoke on the issue, who said that due to the change in currents, we will see changes in the coming years.

In Cyprus, we do not conduct beach studies. For example, in EU countries there is a specific day of the year when a person walks the entire coastline of that country, said Mr. Theopemptou.

We need to monitor the phenomenon, said Mr. Theopemptou, among other things.

EUROPEAN UNION - ETIAS

 

EUROPEAN UNION - ETIAS

As you are aware the ETIAS requirement is scheduled, after many postponements, to come into effect later this year.

There are rumours that due to the delays experienced by travellers because of processing for EES at the borders, implementation of ETIAS is likely to be delayed.  Further information follows when available.

An ETIAS (European Travel Information and Authorisation System) is a travel authorisation required for visa-exempt nationals to enter 30 European countries for short stays.

ETIAS is a new entry requirement for travellers from visa-exempt countries visiting the Schengen area and other participating European countries. It is linked to a traveller’s passport and is valid for up to three years or until the passport expires, whichever comes first. Travellers will have to apply online through the official ETIAS website or mobile app and pay a €20 fee, although some groups, such as minors and seniors, will be exempt from payment.
