Green olives get their own festival
September 25, 2019
Better known as elies tsakistes, green olives will be celebrated on Friday with their own festival, the first of its kind. Organised by the Cultural Club Palmos Episkopis, the festival will transform Episkopi parking into an olive enthusiast’s dream, with activities happening all around the area.
Festivities will begin at 7pm at the old olive mill of the village of Episkopi. There, guests will be able to visit the olive mill, a photography exhibition and watch Cypriot traditional dances. Afterwards, accompanied by Cypriot music, visitors can walk to the parking area in the centre of the village to continue the entertainment. There, a documentary about olives and the old olive mill of the village will be screened while traditional dances will again take the floor soon after.
