🔊 Commandaria officially recognized as UNESCO heritage: a historic moment for Cyprus
The famous Cypriot wine Commandaria has been added to UNESCO’s Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.

The decision was taken on 10 December 2025 in New Delhi, marking international recognition of the centuries-old winemaking tradition of the 14 villages of the Commandaria region and one of the oldest wines in the world.

UNESCO status strengthens Cyprus’s cultural identity, supports local communities, and confirms that Commandaria is not just a wine, but a living part of the island’s history and heritage.

🔊 What urban wastewater reveals: why sewage analysis is becoming a key public health tool in Cyprus
Across Europe, urban wastewater is being found to contain viruses such as influenza, coronavirus, poliovirus, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), and even monkeypox. New EU legislation now requires member states — including Cyprus — to use wastewater monitoring as part of their epidemiological surveillance systems.

This method makes it possible to detect the circulation of infections at an early stage, even before large numbers of people seek medical care. For Cyprus, which welcomes millions of tourists and has major port and aviation hubs, wastewater monitoring can become a crucial tool for prevention and the protection of public health.
