The Reception and Accomodation Center for Applicants for International Protection is located in the Community of Kofinou, in the province of Larnaca.

At the Center, families with children and single individuals (men & women) are accommodated with the aim of a accommodation maximum duration of 6 months. It is an open-type Center and therefore the residents have the right to free movement.
