From the west to the east of Cyprus, the Christmas villages invite visitors to discover picturesque settlements, breathe in the fresh mountain air, and admire landscapes with unparalleled views.
Agros, Kyperounta, Statos-Agios Fotios, Lefkara, Fikardou, Kakopetria, Kalopanagiotis, Lofou and Deryneia are dressed in their festive best and each has its own way of celebrating.
Come and taste, smell, touch, feel and live Christmas like nowhere else. Make your own warm spiced wine in Agros, discover the secrets of freshly baked milopites (apple pies) in Kyperounta, experience traditional Christmas customs in Statos-Agios Fotios, learn to cook festive recipes in Lefkara, dress in medieval costumes, step back in time and explore Fikardou’s glorious past, bake breads and biscuits alongside the locals in Kakopetria, follow the Christmas procession and sing melodic hymns in Kalopanagiotis, stroll along the cobbled streets in Lofou, and taste the famous local strawberries in Deryneia.
Join a guided walking tour through the heart of the villages to learn about their history, traditions, local handicrafts and authentic delicacies. Nearby, the island’s natural beauty awaits: winding nature trails, endemic plants and viewpoints that take your breath away. With over 300 authentic workshops on traditional crafts and local gastronomy, there’s always something new to try.
