From 2023, the effort of the Deputy Ministry of Tourism and tourist agencies of Pafos for the tourist exploitation of the gorges of the Akamas peninsula will take practical form. Although from this year the relevant efforts began, with the first on-site visit of competent officials to gorges of the community of Arodes, the practical actions for their systematic utilization did not have time to bear fruit, due to the very strong recovery of the tourist flow and now this will be done in the new year.
The inclusion of these natural beauties of Pafos in the tourist campaign of the province is considered another enriching part of its tourism policy. Within the framework of this preparation, competent bodies and agents have already prepared the campaign for the gorges of Kraminos, Eirini, Dipotamos and Koufon, in order to be utilized and integrated into the tourist product of the province.
According to the Deputy Ministry of Tourism, the area has something very unique to offer and under certain conditions, several points from the gorges and the wider area could be integrated into the tourist experience and become another important attraction mainly for walkers and nature lovers, locals and foreigners.
In the near future, the planning will proceed and, subsequently, the involvement and cooperation of the Department of Forests and other involved services will be requested for a more detailed promotion of the whole issue.
The area of Laona-Akamas can offer unique experiences and there has been a great effort made in recent years to highlight its special characteristics, upgrade the existing infrastructure and enrich the experiences offered, the competent bodies say.
