Fall rescue

A 56-year-old British man and his dog were rescued yesterday after falling down a 30-metre ravine in Tremithousa in the Paphos district. 

The incident took place yesterday morning while the man was walking his dog along Ayios Neophytos Avenue in Tremithousa. At some point, he and the dog fell down a 30-metre ravine, resulting in a rescue operation to pull them up using special Fire Service equipment.

The man was taken to Paphos general hospital for treatment after suffering several abrasions on his face and body. He was considered out of danger and, with his consent, released from hospital.

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
