Event 'Above the Clouds' Cancelled Due to Permit Issues and Natura 2000 Status

The 'ABOVE THE CLOUDS' event, scheduled to take place in the Troodos region on March 1, 2026, has been cancelled due to a lack of necessary permits from the relevant authorities. The area designated for the event is part of the Natura 2000 protected areas network, making its execution problematic. Authorities had already rejected a request for the event and informed the organizers. The Ministries of Interior and Agriculture, Rural Development and Environment issued a joint statement emphasizing that public safety and environmental protection are a priority. The issue has been reported to the Police, who are conducting the necessary investigations. The organizers have been asked to inform the public about the event's cancellation.
