Every year · usually February
When the almond orchards flower in February, three hill villages hold blossom festivals: Limnatis above Limassol, and Giolou and Salamiou in the Paphos hills. Expect village food and music among trees in full bloom. Each community board sets its own date — the 2026 events calendar gives their phone numbers — so check before you go.

Limnatis, Giolou & Salamiou — village squares in the Limassol and Paphos hills, Cyprus.
Yes. It is held every year, usually in February, and usually lasts 1 day each.
The biggest wine festival in Cyprus, running nine days in the Municipal Gardens on the seafront. Entry is €5 for adults (€3 for 13–17s, under-12s free) and the wineries’ tastings inside are free; a wine glass costs €1.50–2.50 extra. Food, music and dance every evening.
The island's home-grown pop culture convention, running annually since the mid-2010s with cosplay contests, artist alley, gaming zones and comic vendors. It is smaller and friendlier than the giant international cons, which makes it easy to actually see everything in a day. Tickets are modestly priced and the cosplay standard is impressively high for a small island.
A Sunday in Agios Mamas, one of the Commandaria wine villages in the hills north of Limassol, where you can watch — and help with — the making of ppalouzes and soutzoukos, the grape-must sweets of the harvest. Live folk music and dancing, a village market, donkey rides and storytelling for children; free entry.
