City of Dreams Mediterranean Takes Hold

In the coastal city of Limassol, Cyprus, the company recently unveiled City of Dreams Mediterranean, a lavish resort boasting a magnificent casino and a staggering 500 hotels. The construction of this establishment incurred costs exceeding €600 million (approximately US$662 million).

The new establishment asserts its claim as Europe's foremost gambling destination, boasting a colossal casino occupying a vast expanse of 7,500 square meters (80,729 square feet). This mammoth space accommodates a gaming zone featuring an extensive array of 100 tables and 1,000 slot machines.

The expansive MICE (meetings, incentives, conferences and exhibitions) center within the premises claims to be the most colossal expo facility in the Republic of Cyprus. Spanning 8,000 square meters (86,111 square feet), it offers an amalgamation of indoor and outdoor spaces for various events. Among its notable features are a grand ballroom capable of accommodating up to 880 individuals and a terrace with 200 available seats.

City of Dreams Mediterranean is under the management of Melco Cyprus, an alliance formed by Melco Resorts and Cyprus Phassouri (Zakaki) Ltd, a prominent Cypriot conglomerate. This strategic collaboration holds a franchise agreement for 30 years.

Before the grand introduction of the City of Dreams Mediterranean, Melco Cyprus had already been actively running satellite casinos in Nicosia, Ayia Napa and Paphos.
