New sweep operation for caravans in Larnaca: asbestos found

A new operation to remove caravans and illegal structures from a beach near the former oil refineries in Larnaca, Cyprus, has begun. Municipal and district crews removed three caravans and dismantled nine illegal shacks and makeshift constructions occupying public space. Asbestos was discovered in one of the structures, requiring specially trained teams in protective suits to handle the hazardous material. The operation follows a final warning issued on July 18 and complements an earlier sweep on a nearby beach, where six caravans were removed after 12 owners complied.

Larnaca demolishes wooden shacks and moves motorhomes

The Larnaca District Administration launched a sweep operation on Thursday morning to relocate motorhomes and demolish wooden shacks on the shoreline, located in front of the fenced area where part of Land of tomorrow will be built. Demolition of the wooden structures has begun; one contains asbestos and will be dismantled by officials in protective gear with safety measures. The issue was highlighted by 'F' last Saturday, showing images of two beaches on the Larnaca-Dhekelia road that were illegally occupied, with no authority taking action. After intervention by Interior Minister Constantinos Ioannou, the district administration was instructed to remove motorhomes and shacks. Nine structures, mostly wooden, were built on the Land of tomorrow site, along with three motorhomes that received notices last Tuesday.

Larnaca beach cleared of illegal structures and motorhomes

On Tuesday morning, an operation removed illegal structures and motorhomes from a beach near the Larnaca Nautical Club, where owners had allegedly blocked access to other bathers. Similar action is expected on a neighboring beach with wooden huts built over the water. Interior Minister Constantinos Ioannou intervened after weeks of inaction, leading to warning letters on Saturday and the start of motorhome removal on Tuesday. Large stones were placed at the beach entrance to prevent large vehicles from entering.

Beach in Larnaca occupied, bathers denied access

Wooden structures and motorhomes have been illegally placed on a beach next to the Larnaca Nautical Club, effectively turning it into a private area. Larnaca Mayor Andreas Vyras said many complaints have been received about people being prevented from swimming, as well as unsanitary conditions and litter. A similar situation was cleared in 2024, but now authorities are unable to act due to a jurisdictional dispute: the district administration refuses to intervene, claiming the land is private, although the law requires removal of structures within 92 meters of the shoreline.

Glamping in Greece: New Camping Standards

Glamping, or glamorous camping, is gaining popularity in Greece, offering pre-set tents with beds, private bathrooms, and WiFi. The term originated in the UK in 2005 and was officially recognized in Greece in 2020. Prices range from €90 per night for budget options to over €300 for luxury tents with jacuzzis and transparent roofs. Halkidiki is the main glamping hub in Northern Greece.

British man concreted over wildlife reserve to create motorhome pitches

Michael Delaney, 39, from Sussex, England, must remove six motorhome pitches and restore a seven-acre plot he concreted without planning permission. Work began in August without an application, and inspector Paul Freer described the development as a 'flagrant, contemptuous and blatant' case of deliberate unauthorized building. The site is habitat for the protected great crested newt, adding an environmental dimension. The family has three months to vacate the motorhomes and six months to remove hard surfaces and restore the land.

Greek police clarify parking rules for motorhomes and caravans

The Hellenic Police (EL.AS.) issued new instructions clarifying the legal framework for parking motorhomes and caravans in Greece. According to the documents, the traffic code takes precedence: in built-up areas, motorhomes up to 7.5 m can park without time limit, while those over 7.5 m and caravans are limited to 24 hours. Outside built-up areas, parking is allowed on designated sites or on the roadside. Mere presence of people inside a legally parked vehicle does not constitute an offense. A fine for wild camping (€300) applies only when objective evidence of occupying space beyond the vehicle outline (awnings, tables, barbecues) is present.
