Unique experiences brought to you in rural villages

April 28, 2023

Sunny weather, warm temperatures and blossoming fields make spring the perfect time to go on a road trip around the island. Before the summer heat rolls in, a visit to the villages this season means enjoying the very best of the island – sans the crowds and tour buses. This April and May, several local organisations are hosting free arts and crafts workshops in villages while festivals celebrate local produce. All seasonal, local and traditional!

In Tochni, the Andri Traditional House is hosting a traditional crochet workshop this Saturday, April 29. Using a Cypriot sewing technique, participants will make small round creations known as ‘soupla’. The workshop is free as it is funded by the Ministry of Tourism and will take place twice on Saturday, first at 10am and then again at 3pm, led by Andri Vasilopoulou.
