Polemi Tulip Festival 2023
Nosebag!
An essential part of an Cypriot Festival is the attendant nosebag. They had lovely big Koupes here, as well as a donut-like delicacy.
Loukoumades
And of course, no Cypriot event would be complete without the Loukoumades. I would have to try these, but first I should get some more photographs.
Inside The Metochi
I walked inside the building itself, mainly because I was nosey. There were a few pictures of the tulips and a film playing in Greek. To be honest though, I've taken so many pictures of the tulips myself over the years I just glanced at these quickly. You can see some of those in the list of related blogs at the bottom of this page.
Eating Area
The next room was the main dining area. This place is crying out to be a traditional Village Tavern. It is an amazing location. It only seems to get used for village-wide events though, which is a shame.
Back Outside
Oh I didn't mention it, but the loukoumades were free. I think they were also giving out free wine, though I didn't try any myself.

Polemi Tulip Festival 2018
This morning, Polemi was bathed in Spring sunshine, as it invited people to come and see the tulips that flourish there every year. It is an annual event, which gives a true taste of traditional Cypriot life. And as we live in Polemi ourselves, it would be rude not to cover it, wouldn't it?
Polemi Tulip Season
Polemi is now in bloom, so come with us as we take a tour of the Tulip Fields and see what Mother Nature has produced for us this year.

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.
