FAMAGUSTA GAZETTE – Public access to Cyprus’ designated dog-friendly beaches remains severely restricted, with most sites lacking basic facilities, the Cyprus Animal Party said.

Of the seven officially approved dog beaches, only two meet minimum standards, according to the party, which is urging immediate government action to improve accessibility and conditions.

The group is calling for a full review of current locations and demanding that authorities ensure dog beaches are safe, legal, and accessible to all.
