Potamiou Wine & Gastronomy Festival
Sunday 4 October 2026
The fourth edition of a harvest afternoon in Potamiou, a small village in the Limassol wine country: local wine and zivania, palouzes, soutzoukos, trahanas and tremithopita, workshops in traditional cooking, a cycling wine route and folk music and dancing into the evening. Free entry.
Plan your visit
Good to know
It is organised by the community council, so expect a genuine village fete rather than a staged show — come hungry and bring cash for the stalls.
Potamiou sits a few kilometres from Omodos, so it pairs well with an afternoon in the better-known wine village.

Trout farm cooking
Psilo Dendro
A Platres institution at the foot of the Caledonia waterfall trail, serving trout raised in its own farm to generations of hikers and Sunday drivers. The menu beyond the fish is simple and the room fills fast after midday, but few Troodos meals feel this rooted in place.
Known for Farm-raised trout
