See the festival calendar below!
Cyprus is a festival paradise, with an exciting lineup almost every weekend!
From a captivating Rose Festival to a spirited Beer Festival, an enticing Artichoke Festival, and a delectable Fish Festival, Cyprus offers a kaleidoscope of experiences.
What makes these festivals even more captivating is that each unfolds in a unique location. More often than not, the festival is organized by a small village famous for a specific craft - growing mandarins, tulips, fishing, making goods from roses - and the festival is dedicated to this craft or production.
Summertime in Cyprus brings a cornucopia of fresh fruits, berries, and vegetables, and the festivals offer an opportunity to savor the abundance. Indulge in the juiciest berries and fruits, relish homemade jams, delightful liqueurs, and mouthwatering cakes that showcase the region's culinary prowess.
