Polemi Tulip Festival
Published 1st of April, 2026
I was impressed with the variety of stalls, and I didn't see a single Pink Panther!
More tulip art was available here, as well as some cartoon donkeys.
Basket weaving is another popular activity.
There were a number of stalls you will also find at the later harvest festivals.
These look like weird sausages but they are in fact sweets called Soutzoukos. These are made by threading whole almonds or walnuts with a cotton thread and dipping them several times into a mixture called Palouze. This is a thick jelly made by combining grape must with rosewater, cinnamon, and mastic. To be honest I'm not much of a fan but they are very popular in Cyprus.

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.
