Due to severe damage caused by recent extreme weather events, two roads in Akamas National Forest Park have been deemed dangerous and will remain closed until further notice. Specifically, the roads 'Avakas to Agia Matrona' and 'Avakas to Lipati' have suffered road damage and are experiencing water accumulation, making them impassable. The Forestry Department announced the temporary closure of the roads from January 27, 2026, emphasizing that the safety of users is a priority. This decision was made after an assessment of the situation and with the aim of preventing accidents. The road closures will be reviewed once the damage has been repaired and conditions have improved. The Forestry Department is committed to informing the public of any changes in the situation. The Forestry Department sincerely apologizes for the unavoidable inconvenience caused by the road closures to citizens and visitors to the park.
