“Drink wine to be healthy”.

Cyprus’s wine capital Lemesos lives up to its reputation as a party town with a wine festival that it hosts every year.

Zivania is a traditional alcoholic beverage produced for centuries in Cyprus which has played an important role in the everyday life of the locals. With an alcohol content of 40-99%, it is no surprise that the island’s national drink of Zivania is also referred to as ‘firewater’!

Grape Feast Events

Wine has been part of Cyprus history for thousands of years! The island has been a vine-growing and wine-producing country for millennia while the local Commandaria wine is considered the world's oldest named wine still in production. During wine harvest, a number of wine-producing villages organise various events dedicated to grape and its produces.

Apples have long being appreciated for their various health benefits. In Cyprus we celebrate this highly important fruit with a festival, taking place every year in the largest village of the Pitsilia area, Kyperounta village.

Cyprus has been famous for its herbs since antiquity. Due to its geology, geographical position and climate, more than 600 herb species can be located on the island thus making it a botanical heaven! The Herb festival is held every year on the picturesque Platres village on the Troodos Mountains.

Rose Festival Events

Agros village is situated in a beautiful valley on the Troodos Mountains where wild roses grow on the hillsides around it.  During May, at the peak of the rose bloom season, the popular Rose Festival takes place with a variety of activities.
