These three points of interest, Stylianou said, <strong>are \u201cparticularly popular\u201d and have significantly increased foot traffic on the path<\/strong>.<br \/>\nAt the \u201cLock your Love\u201d point, he said, people are able to place padlocks, allowing them to be involved in the growth of the attraction.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fact: Kissonerga
