Paralimni-Deryneia ramps up for 'hundreds of thousands' of tourists

Paralimni-Deryneia municipality said this week it is stepping up preparations for the new tourist season, as the popular east coast destination gets ready to welcome the hundreds of thousands of visitors expected to holiday in the area this year.

As part of that effort, beaches, hotels and leisure venues are already undergoing preparations and upgrades aimed at improving services and further enhancing the visitor experience.

Meanwhile, the municipality said it is continuing with projects and interventions designed to improve infrastructure, upgrade public spaces and make beaches, recreation areas and tourist zones more accessible to both residents and visitors.

In that context, the municipality said Paralimni-Deryneia continues to occupy a leading position in Cyprus tourism, with 18 Blue Flag beaches, more than any other municipality on the island.

It also pointed to the international recognition of Fig Tree Bay in Protaras, noting that it is the only beach in Cyprus included among the 19 best beaches in Europe.

Mayor Giorgos Nikolettos said the municipality is working systematically to ensure that each new tourist season finds the area further upgraded, offering modern infrastructure, quality services and a natural environment that remains a benchmark for both Cypriot and international tourism.

Nikolettos added that close cooperation between the municipality and the area’s tourism and business community is also playing an important role, helping to maintain the high standard of the local tourism product while further strengthening the destination’s reputation.
