Man rescued after jumping off cliff at Cape Greco

A man was rescued by a team from the Larnaca Search and Rescue coordination centre on Saturday after jumping from a cliff at Cape Greco.

Coastal and maritime police, as well as firefighters from the Parlamini fire station and the ambulance service were scrambled under the “Nearchos” plan to respond to the incident.

The man was taken by a speedboat to the shore, from whence he was taken to hospital.

The Larnaca Search and Rescue coordination centre said it is both dangerous and prohibited to dive from the cliffs at Cape Greco, and that the cliffs are deemed as dangerous due to coastal erosion.
