30 boats arrive in Ayia Napa from Lebanon as evacuations continue

Boats from Lebanon are arriving daily at the marinas of Ayia Napa and Larnaca, carrying European citizens as well as diplomatic and administrative staff from foreign embassies.

These individuals are seeking to escape the escalating situation in the Middle East, following Iran's ballistic missile attack on Israel last night.

According to Cyprus News Agency sources, 6-7 boats from Lebanon are docking daily at the Ayia Napa marina, transporting Europeans and embassy staff. So far, 30 boats have arrived, with the marina fully prepared to accommodate the continued influx.

Meanwhile, a boat carrying 10-15 diplomatic and administrative staff from a country maintaining diplomatic relations with Lebanon arrived at the Larnaca marina on Monday morning, September 30.

It is expected that boat arrivals will continue at both marinas.
