Get a taste of traditional Cyprus this month
September 6, 2021
Typically, after the hustle and bustle of the summer’s loud, vibrant festivals, September brings a variety of local, more traditional festivals. Celebrating local produce, music and handicrafts, September’s festivals are usually organised by folklore organisations and municipalities.
Coming up on September 6 is the 9th Annual Carob Festival, taking place at Saint George’s Church in Peyia. Live music, traditional Cypriot fayre and a variety of carob sweets will be part of the one-day fiesta. Expect an evening with musical performances and a dozen different food and drink options to try dedicated to carob products and more. Part of the night’s specialities will be fresh anari with carob syrup, traditional plates of resi and, of course, plenty of wine and zivania.
