The view that the old port of Limassol and the pier are saturated with uses and that any other development will create a problem in the area, expressed the Limassol Mayor Yannis Armeftis, in relation to the proposals to create a giant wheel, such as the “London Eye”. He added that there are environmental issues beyond the practical ones regarding how a development of this kind will be integrated in the area of the old port.
Mr. Giannis Armeftis stressed that he is in favour of creating more new public spaces where people can gather and be entertained.
