Abstract: This paper extends previous studies [10, 12, 13] that investigated \nthe accessibility of different web sites of specific content and context to an \nanalysis of the whole web of a specific country (Cyprus). To our knowledge \nno previous study has analyzed such a big number of web sites for \naccessibility in a single study. More specifically this paper evaluates the \ncompliance of 30,000 Cyprus related websites spidered by Arachne \n(http://search.kypros.org ) search engine. The 30,000 Cyprus related websites \nwhere evaluated for accessibility using the Bobby (http://www.cast.org/bobby/) \naccessibility tool. Statistical analysis and comparison of the accessibility \nratings for the different main domain categories (commercial, academic, \ngovernmental, and organizational) of the Cypriot web are also provided.
