Cyprus Braces for Cold Spell and Snowfall; Concerns Raised Over Akamas National Park's Condition

Cyprus is expected to be affected by a cold air mass from Sunday onwards, with the possibility of frost and snowfall, especially in Troodos. The 'Friends of Akamas' are reporting scenes of abandonment in Akamas National Forest Park, with unfinished constructions and damage to the natural landscape due to delays in the redesign of the road network. They warn of a lack of political will for holistic ecosystem management and the need for alternative modes of transport. They provide 9+1 tips for those planning to visit Troodos, such as checking the weather, having appropriate vehicle equipment and clothing, and driving carefully.
