On July 21, 2026, authorities in Larnaca, Cyprus, initiated a sweep operation to remove caravans that had occupied a beach near the Larnaca Nautical Club for several weeks. The operation, supported by the police, followed a 24-hour ultimatum issued to the caravan owners by the Interior Minister, aimed at addressing complaints from the public regarding restricted access to the beach.

The removal process commenced early in the morning and involved local authorities using platforms to relocate the caravans as part of the effort to clear the beach. Reports indicated that the presence of the caravans had led to significant local dissatisfaction, as they blocked access for other beachgoers. The sweep operation is not expected to be a one-time event, with officials indicating that similar actions may be taken at other locations in the future to ensure public access to recreational areas.
