The Department of Antiquities of the Ministry of Transport, Communications and Works announces that, from Thursday 30 June 2022, underwater works will be carried out for the excavation of the ancient port of Amathus, in the framework of a European cross-border project under the acronym ANDIKAT. These works will last until 7 July 2022 at the latest. The project aims to promote the underwater archaeological and natural heritage through the creation of diving routes in marine protected areas in Greece and Cyprus.
Bathers in the area of the ancient harbour are advised to be particularly careful and avoid areas where work is being carried out, for which there are appropriate signs at sea and warning signs on land. The public is requested not to move any antiquities that may be present on the seabed or markings placed as part of the project. Work will continue throughout July and the Department of Antiquities will come back with a new notice.
The Department of Antiquities apologises in advance for any inconvenience caused.
