Exhumation efforts began on July 9, 2026, at the Ayios Nikolaos cemetery in Limassol in an attempt to locate the remains of Vasilis Michaelides, who is considered the national poet of Cyprus. This renewed effort comes after a previous excavation at the same site two years ago, which did not yield the desired results. The current exhumation follows a new court order that allows investigators to search for Michaelides' remains with the hope of providing closure regarding his final resting place.
During this latest excavation, skeletal remains and a section of a vertebral column associated with other unidentified individuals were discovered. The condition of the bones has been described as poor, raising concerns about the potential for successful identification. The investigation is being conducted by family members, including Michalis Ktistis, who have been actively involved in the search for the poet's remains, and there is a general hope that these findings may advance their long-standing quest for resolution.
