Paphos Tourism Board Introduces Free Thematic Excursions In Akamas Region

Strategic Initiative Unveiled

The Paphos Regional Board of Tourism (Etap) has announced a series of free thematic excursions in the Polis Chrysochous–Akamas region. A program is designed to increase visitor flows to areas with cultural and natural heritage. The focus of the initiative is to expand tourism activity beyond established destinations.

Curated Itineraries Connecting Culture And Nature

Scheduled for May and June, the excursions include visits to five sites: the Sea and Culture Museum, the Reptile and Amphibian Park, the Marion-Arsinoe Archaeological Museum, the Akamas Museum of Rural Life and Tradition in Droushia, and the Information Centre for Avifauna and Terrestrial Flora in Kathikas. Routes combine natural sites with historical locations across the region.

Robust Schedule And Community Engagement

By hosting these events every Saturday, the board invites both locals and international visitors to immerse themselves in the region’s captivating scenery and rich archaeological discoveries. Departures are slated from the Kato Paphos Archaeological Park at 09:15, with a return scheduled at 16:30.

Emphasizing Sustainable Tourism And Education

Guided tours and educational activities are included in the program, focusing on environmental awareness and local heritage. Activities support regional tourism development and visitor engagement.

Official Information And Reservations

Support for the initiative comes from the municipalities of Polis Chrysochous and Akamas. Additional details and registration information are available through the Paphos Regional Board of Tourism.

Women Accounted For More Than Half Of Scientists In 10 EU Regions

In Portugal’s Continente region, 265,100 women worked as scientists and engineers in 2025, representing 46% of the total workforce in these occupations.

Across the EU, women made up more than half of all scientists and engineers in 10 regions. Four were located in Spain, two in Portugal and one in Greece. The remaining regions were Poland’s Makroregion centralny, Sweden’s northernmost region and France’s outermost regions.

Most of these areas had relatively small numbers of scientists and engineers overall. Spain’s Noreste region was the largest, with 102,700 women in these occupations, accounting for 51% of its total workforce.

Women’s Representation Varies Across Europe

The figures highlight considerable regional differences in both the number of women working in science and engineering and their share of the overall workforce.

Cyprus remains below the EU average, with women accounting for 37.8% of scientists and engineers. However, this share is broadly comparable to that of Île-de-France, one of Europe’s largest centres of scientific and engineering employment.
