A man was killed and another injured in an accident in Ayia Napa, after their quad bike fell off a cliff in Cape Greco.

According to local media, 29-year-old Russian national Andrey Sergeyevich was killed on Saturday afternoon after the quad bike he was driving fell eight metres off a cliff in Cape Greco.
