Overview

Protected marine area at the south-eastern tip of Cyprus (part of the Cavo Greco Natura 2000 site CY3000005). According to secondary sources, angling is allowed only in the designated 'Natural Zone' and only for holders of the professional coastal-angling permit, and recreational spearfishing is not permitted in the protected area. This restriction is reported by secondary sources only and has not been confirmed against an official DFMR / Natura 2000 instrument.
