Cyprus beaches with disabled facilities
The Cyprus Tourism Organisation (CTO) recently put out a press release to remind people who live in Cyprus, or are taking a holiday in Cyprus and whom use wheelchairs, that five more beaches have this year had a special wheelchair and plastic walkway fitted, that runs straight down to the water, in order to assist disabled people wishing to visit the beaches of Cyprus. The latest five beaches to be fitted with the special walkway are: Fig Tree Bay and Yianna Marie in Protaras, Ayia Thekla beach in Ayia Napa, Aktis Olympion (Olympia Beach) in Limassol and the CTO’s Dasoudi beach at Yermasoyia in the Limassol district. The designated areas for the walkways are adjacent to each beach’s lifeguard post.
The equipment was purchased by the Cyprus Tourism Organisation (CTO) and given away free to specific municipalities. These new additions brings the total of Cyprus beaches with disabled access to 33, and will be much welcomed by both handicapped people and their carers. The CTO also stressed that most disabled access fittings are removed during the winter months to protect them from storm damage. This is usually from around October to March, and they get fitted back again around April. You can see the full list of beaches that have access and facilities for disabled on our cyprus beaches with disabled access page here. Also take a look at the weather and temperature in Cyprus on the left side of the page. At the time of writing it is a gorgeous hot and sunny day, time for the beach I think, see you there!
