Strong Financial Milestones

Leptos Calypso Hotels Public Limited, Leptos Calypso Hotels, delivered a particularly satisfactory performance in 2025, registering notable improvements in revenues and operating profits. The group saw an increase of €4.7 million in revenues, with operating profits climbing by 54% at the group level and 81% at the company level. This impressive performance is credited largely to a successful commercial strategy and ongoing enhancements in service standards across its hotel portfolio.

Disciplined Debt Management

The company demonstrated prudent financial management by reducing total borrowings by €6.36 million, lowering its debt from €53.16 million to €46.79 million. This reduction improved the borrowing-to-capital-employment ratio from 40% to 32%, underscoring the group’s commitment to strengthening its balance sheet even amidst a challenging economic landscape.

Expanding Markets And Elevated Service Offerings

Leptos Calypso Hotels has not only leveraged its core strengths but also expanded into new international markets, including France and Poland. Enhanced digital strategies and improved online presence have contributed to significant booking increases from the British, French, Polish, and German markets. In parallel, ongoing renovations at the Coral Beach Hotel & Resort, Paphos Gardens, and the Basilika Complex continue to elevate guest experiences, while the recently completed Panorama Hotel renovation in Crete has already drawn robust interest from tour operators.

Adapting To Global Challenges

Despite broader geopolitical pressures linked to conflicts in Ukraine, Israel and Iran, the group maintained stable performance throughout 2025. The company noted that rising energy costs, inflation and supply chain pressures continued affecting the wider tourism industry. However, lower visitor numbers from Russia and Ukraine were offset by stronger demand from other international markets.

Diverse Portfolio And Future Outlook

The group’s diversified portfolio continues to strengthen its position within the regional hospitality sector. Alongside flagship properties such as the five-star Coral Beach Hotel & Resort and the four-star Thalassa Coral Bay in Paphos, Leptos Calypso Hotels Public Limited also maintains interests in other tourism enterprises and development projects.

These include indirect stakes in the Panorama Hotel in Crete and projects in Chania, supporting the group’s broader expansion strategy beyond Cyprus. Management said the diversified structure of the portfolio supports financial resilience and positions the group for continued growth as tourist flows remain stable ahead of the upcoming season.

Only 1% Of Cyprus Farms Use Precision Farming Technologies

Cyprus remains one of the European Union’s least digitised agricultural economies, with just 1% of farms using precision farming technologies in 2023, according to Eurostat.

The findings come as the EU continues to encourage the adoption of digital tools aimed at improving agricultural productivity, efficiency and sustainability.

Internet Access Expands, But Digital Uptake Lags

Internet access has improved across the bloc, although adoption remains uneven. Eurostat found that 43% of EU farms had internet access in 2023, with northern and central European countries leading the way.

Denmark, Germany, Slovakia, Latvia, the Czech Republic and Austria all reported internet access rates above 90%.

Greater connectivity, however, has not translated into widespread digital adoption. Farm management information systems, which help farmers manage day-to-day operations, were used by only about 11% of EU farms. France was a notable exception, with around 60% of farms using the technology.

Precision Farming Concentrated In Larger Operations

Robotics adoption also remained relatively limited, with only about 7% of EU farms using robotic technologies. Overall, around 18% of farms with utilised agricultural area employed at least one precision farming technology or practice in 2023.

These included robotics for plant protection, band spraying, variable-rate application, precision crop monitoring and soil analysis. Despite representing fewer than one in five farms, these holdings accounted for around 44% of the EU’s utilised agricultural area.

The figures suggest that precision farming remains concentrated among larger agricultural businesses, where investment in digital technologies is typically easier to support.

Cyprus Lags Behind EU Leaders

Luxembourg, Finland and Estonia recorded the highest shares of utilised agricultural area managed by farms using precision farming technologies, each exceeding 75%.

At the other end of the ranking, Cyprus recorded just 1%, while Greece and Romania reported between 10% and 15%. The results indicate that Cyprus remains at an early stage of digital adoption in agriculture, even as precision farming becomes more widespread across parts of the European Union.
