A summer of traditional festivals

The beauty of spending the summer in Cyprus is that you can do and have it all. Beach parties and luxurious spa getaways, village road trips and loud music festivals, quiet mountain escapes and concerts with big stars. In between all that are the annual traditional festivals that offer a humble taste of Cyprus. Here’s what is coming up in July and August in villages all around the country.

Celebrating one of summer’s favourite fruits, Akaki village will host its annual Watermelon Festival on July 25.
