Four men accused of terror-related offenses in Cyprus, two of whom were linked to large quantities of explosives, had their remands renewed by the Larnaca district court during closed-door hearings.

The Larnaca district government in Cyprus has launched its 'Larnaca-26' campaign, aiming for residents to reduce water consumption by 26 litres per day by September, from the current average of 140 litres.

Larnaca's city center provides a unique opportunity to experience 1,000 years of Byzantine, Ottoman, and medieval history through landmarks like the Church of Ayios Lazarus and the Djami Kebir Mosque.

AFIS Cyprus has partnered with Larnaca Primary Schools' Parents' Associations to support an environmental initiative aimed at raising awareness and achieving a Guinness World Record.
