Training at Paramali, in Akrotiri and Dhekelia

Paramali

Paramali is a village on the south coast of the island of Cyprus, in the Western Sovereign Base Area of Akrotiri and Dhekelia, though its parish (or village district) is wider, stretching from the shore of Episkopi Bay northwards and divided roughly equally between the Sovereign Base Area and the Republic of Cyprus.
