About Akrotiri
Akrotiri is a village within the Akrotiri Sovereign Base Area, which forms part of the British Overseas Territory of Akrotiri and Dhekelia. Administratively, it is in the Limassol District of the Republic of Cyprus. Though the area is under SBA territorial and security administration, the Akrotiri community council, after a Cyprus government decision in 2024, is now under the Kourion Municipality, which handles civil matters. Akrotiri is one of the few villages in Cyprus where there is a double system working in order to ensure both the status of the SBAs for military use, and their non-use as a colony, as stipulated in the 1960 agreements with the Cypriot and British administrations, respectively, working closely with each other to ensure the effective running of both SBA and civil village administration.
