<!--Akrotiri and Dhekelia cover 3% of the land area of Cyprus, a total of 98 square miles (47.5 at Akrotiri and 50.5 at Dhekelia). 60% of the land is privately owned, either by British or Cypriot citizens. The other 40% is owned by the Ministry of Defence, or is classed as [[British Crown|Crown]] land. In addition to Akrotiri and Dhekelia themselves, the Treaty of Establishment also provides for the continued use by the British Government of certain facilities within Cyprus, known as ''Retained Sites''.
Akrotiri is located in the south of the island, near the city of [[Limassol]] (or [[Lemesos]]). Dhekelia is in the southeast, near [[Larnaca]]. Both of these areas include military bases, as well as farmland and some residential land. Akrotiri is surrounded by territory controlled by the [[Republic of Cyprus]], but Dhekelia also borders on the [[United Nations]] (UN) buffer zone and the [[Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus|Turkish-occupied part of the island]].
Ayia Napa lies to the East of Dhekelia. The villages of [[Xylotymvou]] and [[Ormidhia]], also in the Republic of Cyprus, are enclaves surrounded by Dhekelia SBA. The Dhekelia Power Station, divided by a British road into two parts, also belongs to Cyprus. The northern part is an enclave, like the two villages, whereas the southern part is located by the sea, and therefore not an enclave, though it has no territorial waters of its own.
==Demografìa==
When the bases were being established, the boundaries were drawn up to avoid centres of population. However, around 14,000 people live in the bases. Around 7,000 native Cypriots live in the bases, who either work in the bases themselves, or on farmland within the boundaries of the bases. The British military and their families make up the rest of the population.
There is no specific citizenship available for the bases, although some people may be able to claim [[British Overseas Territories citizen]]ship (BOTC) status. Unlike all other British territories, BOTCs connected solely with the Sovereign Base Areas do not have any entitlement to full British citizenship.
Under the terms of the 1960 agreement with Cyprus establishing the Sovereign Base Areas, the United Kingdom is committed not to use the Areas for civilian purposes. This was stated in 2002 as the primary reason for the exclusion of the Areas from the scope of the [[British Overseas Territories Act 2002]]
==Economìa==
There are no economic statistics gathered for Akrotiri and Dhekelia. The main economic activities are the provision of services to the military, as well as limited agriculture.
