Polemi Tulip Festival 2023
Delicious
Now, I have a bit of a love-hate relationship with loukoumades. In theory, they are delicious. However, often they are flavoured with rose-water. I am not a fan of the taste of rose-water, and have had to through away loukoumades in the past because of it. However, these ones were really, really delicious. And free!
Equal Opportunities
After the man finished talking, an important woman made a speech.
The Band Played On
Finally, the entertainment itself started. I didn't stay to watch it, as I had more photographs to take. However, if you are visiting Cyprus, and have the opportunity to visit a Village Festival, you should go to at least one. They are very happy, joyous affairs.
Polemi Fringe
I now wanted to photograph the tulips themselves. Actually, to be honest, I was more interested in photographing the people watching the tulips. I know the tulips are lovely, but we've lived in Polemi over six years now, so I am used to them. Anyway, to get to the field, I had to walk back to the Square. There are a lot of stalls outside the Metochi, in what I shall rather misleadingly call the Fringe. Let's have a look at some of them on our way through.
Traditional Living
This chap seemed to be selling lots of old traditional Cypriot homeware.

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.
