Cape Greco

Although the cape is a National Forest Park under the administration of the Forestry Department of the Cyprus Ministry of the Interior, the birds there are threatened by illegal trapping.

[3] Cape Greco was the location of a powerful mediumwave broadcasting station operated by Radio Monte Carlo; it carried the French- and Arabic-language programme of Radio Monte Carlo Middle East / RMC Moyen-Orient aimed at audiences in the Middle East and Northern Africa.

In the early morning hours and for some years at late night, it carried programmes of TWR in Arabic, Armenian and Persian.

After 1974, early morning and late night hours were used to transmit programmes of Trans World Radio targeted at the Middle East.

The interest of the U.S. in a broadcasting facility to cover the Middle East led to a contract to use the reserve antenna and a second transmitter was installed in 1992.
