Various villages in Cyprus are organizing traditional festivals to celebrate local culinary customs and seasonal produce.

In August, Kathikas in the Paphos district scheduled a Grape Festival, while Fasoula in the Limassol district hosted its 35th Fasoula Resi Festival, focusing on a traditional meat and wheat-based dish. 

Following these events, the Palaiochito Community Council announced the ‘Dance of the Poureki’ festival for September 20.
