    larnaca marathon — larnaca marathon — Larnaca is all set to host its annual marathon on Sunday, with more than 13,000 runners from 85 countries expected to pound the town’s streets across various distances. This year, around 1,000 participants will tackle the full 26.2-mile marathon, while other events include a half marathon, a 10-kilometre run, two five-kilometre runs, and several one-kilometre races catering to children and adults.

    Larnaca marathon: Marathon Flame Arrives in Larnaca

    In a ceremonial arrival, the Marathon Flame, which has its origins in the Athens Classic Marathon, reached Larnaca on Friday evening. This flame serves as a symbol of athletic excellence and historical significance, echoing the ancient Greek legend of Pheidippides, who ran from the Battle of Marathon to Athens to announce victory over the Persians in 490 BC.

    Larnaca’s deputy mayor, Iasonas Iasonides, expressed gratitude to the Hellenic Athletics Federation and the deputy mayor for sport from the town of Marathon, Anastasios Chrysinas, for bringing the flame to the island. “This is a sign of honour, friendship, cooperation, and love for us, since Larnaca is celebrating again,” Iasonides stated, highlighting the community spirit surrounding the event.

    Last Year’s Winners and Podium Finishers

    Reflecting on previous competitions, last year’s men’s marathon was won by 42-year-old British runner Dasos Gonnella, who finished with a remarkable time of two hours, 39 minutes, and nine seconds. He was closely followed by 37-year-old Slovenian Emil Zohorovic, securing second place.

    In the women’s category, British runner Rebecca Clarke, aged 31, took first place, completing the race in three hours, two minutes, and eight seconds. Dissing Messell Gitte, a 50-year-old competitor from Botswana, finished in second with a time of three hours, six minutes, and 17 seconds. Notably, Cypriot runner Stavri Thrasyvoulou also made her mark, claiming a podium spot with a time of three hours, 10 minutes, and five seconds.

    The event also celebrated its oldest participant, Gote Granholm from Finland, born in 1954, who completed the marathon in four hours, 17 minutes, and 20 seconds, showcasing the inclusive nature of the race.

    A Day of Celebration and Athleticism

    This year’s marathon promises to be not just a test of endurance but a vibrant celebration of community spirit, athletic prowess, and international camaraderie. With streets lined with spectators and supporters, Larnaca is poised to create a memorable experience for both participants and onlookers alike. As the countdown to race day continues, excitement builds for what promises to be another successful marathon.

  • Cyprus outlook: S&P Upgrades Cyprus’ Economic Outlook to Positive

    Cyprus outlook: S&P Upgrades Cyprus’ Economic Outlook to Positive

    cyprus outlook — Credit rating agency S&P has upgraded the outlook of Cyprus’ economy from “stable” to “positive”, highlighting a faster-than-expected improvement in external debt ratios.

    • cyprus outlook — Credit rating agency S&P has upgraded the outlook of Cyprus’ economy from “stable” to “positive”, highlighting a faster-than-expected improvement in external debt ratios.

    The island’s credit rating remains at “A-/A-2” for both long-term and short-term debt. S&P noted that the new outlook reflects the expectation that Cyprus will outperform current projections regarding its external position. This anticipated performance is attributed to a more rapid de-escalation of external debt.

    Despite a persistent current account deficit, Cyprus has seen significant net inflows of foreign direct investment. This influx has facilitated a gradual reduction in external debt, prompting S&P to suggest that an upgrade could be possible if leverage continues to decrease at a stronger pace than estimated.

    However, potential risks loom on the horizon. S&P cautioned that any deterioration in the external environment, such as decreased financial activity among trading partners or heightened geopolitical tensions, could exert pressure on the economy, public finances, and banking system.

    The agency’s upgrade of Cyprus’ economic outlook is largely due to expectations of a further strengthening of its external position, driven by ongoing public and private sector deleveraging, alongside resilient services exports. For instance, despite an average deficit exceeding eight per cent of GDP over the past five years, gross external debt continues to decline.

    S&P praised Cyprus’ fiscal performance as impressive, noting that strong economic activity and a high employment rate have bolstered tax revenues and social security contributions. These factors, combined with controlled public spending, have led to sustained surpluses and a continued reduction in public debt.

    Looking ahead, S&P forecasts an average surplus of 3.3 per cent of GDP between 2025 and 2028, with net debt projected to fall to 35 per cent of GDP by 2028, down from 56 per cent last year and 90 per cent in 2019.

    In terms of growth, S&P indicated that strong economic momentum has persisted into the early part of this year, predicting a growth rate of 3.3 per cent for 2023. This growth is expected to be increasingly driven by domestic demand, rising real incomes, and investments from both private and public sectors, especially following a notable rise in tourism and the relocation of technology companies to the island.

    Moreover, Cyprus’ economy has shown resilience against conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, with limited exposure to trade tensions between the United States and China. Nevertheless, the slowdown in Europe could pose indirect risks to economic stability.

    President Nikos Christodoulides welcomed the upgrade, stating it marks Cyprus’ entry into a path of enhanced momentum and reflects the consistency and responsibility of the country’s fiscal choices. He emphasised that Cyprus has emerged as a reliable centre for quality investments, leading to reduced borrowing costs, strengthened entrepreneurship, and the creation of well-paid jobs.

    Finance Minister Makis Keravnos echoed these sentiments, asserting that the upgrade demonstrates confidence in the government’s economic policy as recognised by major rating agencies. He remarked that the continuous positive assessments of Cyprus’ economic credibility reflect not just its creditworthiness in international markets but also the dynamic nature of the Cypriot economy in a climate of increased geopolitical risks.

    Keravnos affirmed that the government will persist in its economic policies aimed at fostering stable and sustainable growth, grounded in fiscal discipline and financial sustainability. He underscored the importance of focusing on initiatives that support the populace, particularly underprivileged social classes, through sensitive economic policies.

  • Mixed Reactions to New Cost-of-Living Allowance Agreement in Cyprus

    Mixed Reactions to New Cost-of-Living Allowance Agreement in Cyprus

    cost-of-living allowance — The new cost-of-living allowance (CoLA) agreement, signed on Thursday following extensive negotiations between employers and workers, has elicited mixed reactions from various political factions in Cyprus.

    • “Our most serious concern,” Disy added, “relates to the inevitable further expansion of the state payroll, in connection with general increases and mass hiring.”
    • Their statement concluded with a call for “the universal, fair and socially balanced implementation of the CoLA,” framing it as a matter of social justice and dignity in the workplace.
    • The future implementation of the CoLA will likely continue to be a focal point in the political discourse, reflecting the broader challenges faced by workers and the economy alike.

    Cost-of-living allowance: Political Parties Weigh In

    Disy, the ruling party, expressed support for the agreement, viewing it as a crucial step towards maintaining labour peace. They endorsed the 4 per cent inflation ceiling established for the CoLA’s implementation, which aims to mitigate its adverse effects. However, Disy also highlighted the need for modernising the CoLA institution, a commitment the government had previously announced. They argue that modernisation is essential for ensuring the sustainability of public finances and enhancing economic competitiveness.

    According to Disy, “the weaknesses of the institution remain,” pointing out that the CoLA is uniformly paid regardless of salary level. This system, they argue, disproportionately favours high-wage earners. The party also raised concerns regarding the expansion of the CoLA to the national minimum wage, suggesting that it merely affirms earlier decisions made by their government.

    “Our most serious concern,” Disy added, “relates to the inevitable further expansion of the state payroll, in connection with general increases and mass hiring.”

    Akel’s Advocacy for Labour Rights

    Akel, the main opposition party, praised the CoLA agreement as a significant achievement in advancing labour rights. They underscored that the agreement does not signify the end of their efforts. “The trade union movement fought a months-long battle to protect and secure the CoLA,” Akel stated, emphasising that this success demonstrates the power of collective action in expanding workers’ rights.

    The party has committed to continuing their advocacy alongside the trade union movement to ensure the CoLA encompasses all workers, asserting that “workers can live with dignity.” Akel’s spokesperson remarked, “The agreement on the CoLA signed yesterday is a milestone, but it is not the end of the road.”

    Ecological Movement’s Call for Universal Coverage

    The Ecological Movement echoed Akel’s sentiments, vowing to advocate for a policy that addresses societal needs comprehensively. They acknowledged positive developments, such as the planned full restoration of the CoLA to 100 per cent within 18 months in areas where it is currently applicable. Nonetheless, they deemed this progress insufficient.

    The movement articulated their stance clearly: “The CoLA must be awarded universally to all employees, and in a staggered manner, so that the support is proportional to actual needs and inversely proportional to the level of the salary.” They highlighted ongoing affordability challenges faced by citizens, stressing that measures affecting purchasing power should prioritise effective support for the most vulnerable rather than relying on partial solutions.

    Their statement concluded with a call for “the universal, fair and socially balanced implementation of the CoLA,” framing it as a matter of social justice and dignity in the workplace.

    Expansion of CoLA Beneficiaries

    The newly established permanent agreement expands the CoLA to benefit over 55,000 additional recipients. The allowance will see a gradual increase, moving from the current 66.7% to 80% of the cost-of-living rise starting January 1, 2026. This will further increase to 90 per cent on July 1, 2026, and finally reach 100 per cent by January 1, 2027.

    Annual adjustments will be made based on Cyprus’ real GDP growth, with the CoLA increase capped at a maximum of 4 per cent. In the event of an economic downturn, the labour advisory board will convene to review and recommend necessary measures.

    Looking Ahead

    As the CoLA agreement rolls out, the differing reactions from political parties illustrate the ongoing debates regarding labour rights and economic stability in Cyprus. While some parties celebrate the agreement as a significant achievement, others caution against potential pitfalls, urging for a more comprehensive approach to labour rights and economic sustainability.

    The future implementation of the CoLA will likely continue to be a focal point in the political discourse, reflecting the broader challenges faced by workers and the economy alike.

    Social care — Cyprus Introduces Digital Platform for Enhanced Access to Social Care Services

    A new digital platform for social care services has been launched in Cyprus, providing citizens with clear and immediate access to all approved facilities monitored by the social welfare deputy ministry. This initiative was announced on Friday and is aimed at modernising the country’s social welfare framework.

    The platform, which can be accessed at socialcare.org.cy, consolidates information regarding social care services, making it easier for users to locate the assistance they need. Facilities are organised by district and municipality, population group, and type of programme, ensuring a comprehensive overview for all users.

    • Homes for the elderly and disabled
    • Nurseries
    • Supported housing for independent living
    • Adult day centres
    • Community-based caregivers
    • Child protection services
    • Employment centres
    • Living units for people with disabilities

    Each entry is equipped with contact details, allowing users to connect with the relevant services swiftly. This is particularly beneficial for individuals seeking specialised support, as the platform also highlights various programmes tailored for specific needs.

    Modernising Access to Welfare Services

    The launch of this digital platform is part of a broader strategy by the ministry to enhance transparency and accessibility of social welfare services in Cyprus. By creating a single digital environment that maps all social care facilities, officials aim to improve public access to necessary support and protection services.

    According to the ministry, the introduction of this platform is expected to facilitate easier navigation through the social care landscape, allowing individuals to find the help they require without unnecessary barriers.

    Current Accessibility and Future Enhancements

    As of Friday evening, the website is available only in Greek, which may pose a limitation for non-Greek speakers. However, officials have indicated that further enhancements and translations may be considered in the future to broaden the reach of this important resource.

    • flamingo mural — A concrete water tank overlooking Larnaca’s salt lake – a habitat for migratory flamingos – has been transformed into a new artistic landmark for the city.

    Recently unveiled by Larnaca’s tourism board, this vibrant mural showcases the long-necked birds that grace the lake each year, serving not only as an homage to the local wildlife but also as a bold statement of the city’s artistic aspirations.

    Positioned on a knoll opposite the salt lake along the bustling Artemida street, the large tank is strategically located towards the airport, ensuring that visitors and residents alike can admire the artwork. The mural, designed by graffiti artist Paparazzi, is part of an initiative supported by the deputy tourism ministry and the city’s municipality.

    Flamingo mural: A Warm Welcome for Visitors

    One striking feature of the mural is the phrase ‘Welcome Back’, which is emblazoned on the back of the tank facing the airport. This welcoming message is particularly poignant for returning tourists and locals who have missed the beauty and charm of Larnaca.

With this new landmark, Larnaca enhances its identity as a city that embraces creativity while paying tribute to its natural surroundings.

  • Prosecution Unveils New Evidence in Demosthenous Murder Case

    Prosecution Unveils New Evidence in Demosthenous Murder Case

    demosthenous murder — demosthenous murder — The murder case of businessman Stavros Demosthenous has taken a significant turn as new evidence was presented by the prosecution during court proceedings. Demosthenous was tragically gunned down last month just a few metres from his home in Limassol.

    • As of November 7, the investigation had led to the detention of at least eight suspects, with some released due to lack of evidence.

    Four suspects, all implicated in the murder, are scheduled to face trial at the Limassol criminal court on January 29. This follows an announcement made by authorities on Thursday, confirming their direct involvement.

    Demosthenous murder: New Testimonies and Evidence

    As the investigation unfolds, a key testimony has emerged from an eyewitness who observed a white van that was later set ablaze. This individual noted that the van’s right back door window was broken, and a second vehicle was present nearby, unable to pass due to the commotion. Notably, this witness described a second man at the scene who was wearing a distinctive ‘Zorro-style’ hat and glasses.

    Further strengthening the prosecution’s case, laboratory tests have revealed that DNA collected from the hat abandoned by the suspects belongs to a 31-year-old man, identified as the alleged shooter. State laboratories also discovered traces of forensic material indicating the hat was likely used by someone who either fired a gun or was in close proximity to the act.

    Profiles of the Suspects

    The prosecution’s case file outlines the roles of the suspects involved. Among them are two 30-year-olds; one is alleged to have facilitated the purchase and sale of the motorcycle used during the escape, while the other is a convicted prisoner, accused of orchestrating the murder from behind bars.

    Additionally, a 51-year-old suspect has had his DNA linked to a stolen vehicle connected to the crime, whereas the other suspect, a 31-year-old of Georgian descent, is accused of procuring fake licence plates for the getaway vehicle and assisting two Georgians in fleeing Cyprus.

    Clarifications on Nationality

    The embassy of Georgia in Nicosia has clarified that the two Georgians in question are not actual Georgian nationals but rather “Pontian Greeks”—individuals of Greek descent born in Georgia who hold Greek citizenship exclusively.

    These two suspects, aged 28, were apprehended in Thessaloniki in late October under a European arrest warrant and are currently waiting extradition back to Cyprus. They are expected to be incorporated into the trial at a later date.

    Investigative Developments

    Following their arrest, law enforcement located a vehicle with Cypriot registration at one of the suspects’ residences. This car, registered to the 31-year-old suspect, contained documents that suggested plans for their escape from Cyprus by ferry to Turkey.

    The indictment filed against the suspects includes a total of 17 charges, 16 of which apply to all four defendants. These charges encompass serious offences such as premeditated murder, conspiracy to commit murder, arson, and illegal possession and use of firearms.

    Notably, the 51-year-old suspect faces an additional charge of receiving stolen property but remains at liberty after a court ruling on November 5 that found insufficient evidence to justify extending his detention.

    Trial Expectations

    As the case progresses, it has been assigned a serial number, although there are indications it may be refiled to include the two Georgians once their cases are officially combined. In total, the prosecution has lined up 104 witnesses, including three individuals who had previously been arrested but later released.

    Stavros Demosthenous was fatally shot on October 17 while seated in a car next to his 18-year-old son in the Ayios Athanasios area of Limassol. Police investigations suggest that the gunfire originated from a van that was directly in front of their vehicle, which was later discovered engulfed in flames. A motorcycle, believed to be linked to the murder, was also found abandoned in the vicinity.

    As of November 7, the investigation had led to the detention of at least eight suspects, with some released due to lack of evidence.

  • Limassol Roads Experience Flooding Following Heavy Rainfall

    Limassol Roads Experience Flooding Following Heavy Rainfall

    limassol roads — Limassol roads experienced significant flooding after heavy rainfall on Friday, disrupting the usual calm of the district following an extended dry spell. The rain commenced around midday, predominantly affecting the mountainous regions of Limassol, before heavy downpours reached the city, leading to waterlogged streets.

    • In the days following the rainfall, local authorities are expected to monitor the situation closely, as more rain could be on the horizon, potentially exacerbating the current conditions.

    Residents took to social media, sharing videos of the flooded roads on the KAIROFILI KYPROU Facebook page. The footage captured the swift rise of water, with vehicles struggling to navigate through the inundated streets. Local reports indicate that some areas were temporarily impassable due to the conditions.

    This sudden shift in weather is a stark contrast to the preceding weeks of dry weather, which had left many areas of Cyprus parched. The rainfall not only caused immediate flooding but also contributed to raising the average rainfall figures for November in the region, especially after previous storms earlier in the week.

    While the heavy rain is welcomed by many as a relief from the dry period, the flooding has prompted concerns over drainage systems and preparedness for such weather events. As residents clean up and assess the impact, the focus will likely shift to ensuring infrastructure can better handle similar occurrences in the future.

    In the days following the rainfall, local authorities are expected to monitor the situation closely, as more rain could be on the horizon, potentially exacerbating the current conditions.

  • Seismic Activity in Agia Marina Kelokedaron Shows Signs of Weakening

    Seismic Activity in Agia Marina Kelokedaron Shows Signs of Weakening

    Seismic activity in the Agia Marina Kelokedaron area is gradually weakening, according to the Geological Survey Department. The department reported a decline in both the magnitude and frequency of earthquakes following a series of tremors that began in November 2025.

    Recent Earthquake Timeline

    The seismic events initiated on the morning of Wednesday, 12 November 2025, when two significant earthquakes registering 5.2 and 5.3 on the Richter scale were felt across Cyprus. These tremors were particularly noticeable in the Paphos, Limassol, and Nicosia districts, as well as along the eastern Mediterranean coast.

    Intensity of Seismic Activity

    In the 48 hours following the initial quakes, the Geological Survey Department recorded over 200 additional earthquakes in the same region. Among these, 16 tremors measured between 3.0 and 4.5 on the Richter scale, causing concern among residents who reported feeling many of the aftershocks.

    Current Assessment and Future Risks

    Despite the observed decline in seismic activity, the Geological Survey Department cautioned that the potential for new strong tremors still exists, although the likelihood diminishes over time. In their latest announcement, officials noted that the last 42 hours have indicated a smooth progression of the seismic sequence, which is promising for the community.

    Ongoing Monitoring and Data Analysis

    The department continues to monitor the situation closely, analysing data to ensure timely updates are provided. Residents can access the latest information through the Seismological Centre’s websites, which aim to keep the public informed about any changes in seismic activity.
