Media Coverage
Cyprus Mail — Feature Article
Title: Cyprus’ geology may be the key to its tourism future
Outlet: Cyprus Mail
Date: 10 May 2026
Link: Cyprus’ geology may be the key to its tourism future | Cyprus Mail
Description: This Cyprus Mail feature explores how Cyprus’ geological heritage — from the Troodos ophiolite and copper‑rich volcanic rocks to sea caves, gorges, and uplifted coastlines — can redefine the island’s tourism identity. It highlights how geology has shaped Cyprus’ culture, water resources, villages, and landscapes. It argues that geotourism offers a sustainable, year‑round alternative to the traditional “sun, sea, and sand” model. The article presents Cyprus as a globally significant geological destination and explains how storytelling, community engagement, and nature‑based experiences can support rural development and enrich the visitor experience.

It also marks the introduction of my first geotourism experiences — guided, story‑driven explorations designed to help visitors engage with Cyprus through its landscapes, heritage, and hidden geological narratives.
