Cyprus: New crossing points and road openings discussed

Discussions regarding the opening of new crossing points and roads in Cyprus are underway. The Akıncılar (Lurucina) – Limya crossing, which was previously used by some, is set to be officially opened to the general public. This development is expected to significantly reduce travel time between Ercan and Larnaka airports to approximately 20 minutes, potentially bypassing congestion at Metehan or the narrow passage at Pergama.

Reports also indicate that a road connecting Bağlıköy and Kambos, an area previously containing mines, may be opened. Additionally, while military restrictions currently prevent Greek Cypriot passage through Erenköy (Koççina), Nikos Hristodulidis has stated that the opening of this gate remains on the negotiating table. The Karavostasi port is also noted as a legal port of the Republic of Cyprus.
