Road Closures in Akamas Forest Park Due to Storm Damage

Two roads in the Akamas National Forest Park remain closed to traffic due to severe damage caused by recent bad weather. The roads “Avakas to Agia Matrona” and “Avakas to Lipati” have suffered damage to the road surface and are experiencing water accumulation, making it dangerous for vehicles to pass. The decision to close the roads was made by the Forestry Department on Tuesday, January 27th, 2026, and they will remain closed until further notice. The Forestry Department apologizes for any inconvenience this may cause to the public and commits to providing further updates when conditions improve and the roads are restored. The damage to the roads highlights the area's vulnerability to extreme weather conditions and the need for regular maintenance and infrastructure repair. The safety of visitors and residents of the area is a priority for the Forestry Department.
