The Thirteenth Peyia Carob Festival
Published 5th of September, 2025
Underneath The Arches
The place has really scrubbed up well.
Getting Ready
People were now eagerly awaiting the start of the music and dance.
Traditional Dancers
After a brief speech, some traditional dancers took to the stage. They initially told a story in dance, of a woman who got upset by a broken vase, who was then comforted by a man. I missed the start and initially thought the man broke the vase after an over-zealoud high kick. But Alex assured me that that wasn't the case.
On My Head
After that, it was time for dancing with a stack of glasses on the head.
We already published a film of the event. One of our viewers recognised this chap from a performance at the hotel they were staying in. So he's a real pro.

eBookCyprus Road Trip 01: the Kathikas - Panagia Loop
Let me take you on a journey around the region of Paphos, Cyprus. Starting at Paphos itself, we travel to Akoursos, then Kathikas, Kritou Terra and Simou. We continue past Lasa and Kannaviou, before taking in the delights of Panagia. Getting a bit more adventurous, we visit the abandoned villages of Statos and Agios Fotios, before passing through Choulou, Letymbou and Polemi, and rejoining the main Paphos - Polis road.
The route is suitable for all types of vehicle, and requires no off-roading. The guide contains about 130 photographs including shots of all the road signs you need to pay attention to, as well as some of the highlights you may experience along the way.
There are also several maps which will help you keep your bearings.
You can do this journey in a day, or you can break it up into chunks. You can also do it in reverse, to get some completely different views. It is entirely up to you.
