Cyprus Latest News

Read the inside story on the Cyprus latest news

chrysochoubay

Cyprus is a sleepy little place a lot of the time so big news stories can be rare on the island. But big events like the July 2011 explosion that wiped out the island's main power supply and killed 13 people are hot news.

Whether you live on the island permanently, you're coming to Cyprus for your first trip or you visit on the island on a regular basis, you can catch up with the latest big news stories right here.

Our news from Cyprus will focus on key island-wide issues plus what's happening locally in the various towns and resorts around the island; with a special focus on the Polis and Latchi area, as that's where we live.

I'll keep you posted on everything that really matters from the latest new store in town - a yummy new deli or a discount fashion sports store spring immediately to mind - to what's making the locals gossip - like the forthcoming local Muchta elections.

TIP: The Muchta is the local mayor or president of each village and he is very important as he holds the purse strings to the locality budget. We know how badly our village Muchta wants to be re-elected - the dirt track leading to our house has just been laid with concrete...5 years after it should have been completed!
