The Polemi Tulip Festival
Last weekend, the tulip festival came to Polemi, and we were there with our camera to capture a snatch of Cypriot Life.
A Good Turnout
The first thing that surprised us was how many people had turned out for the event. Outside the Cultural Centre the Main Square was packed full of cars, when it is normally empty.
Free Food and Drink!
Lots of people were availing themselves of the free wine and sweets available.
Art and Crafts
Numerous stalls were selling local arts and crafts.
Decorated Gourds
I did like these decorated gourds. Religeous icons were readily available, which is not a surprise, having visited a fair number of shrines in the last few months.
More Food
As well as the free food and drink, you could also indulge in a variety of other nibbles, both inside and outside the centre.
But why was everybody here? To see the show of course...

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.
