Things to Do in Polis Chrysochous This Weekend: 5 Picks (Oct 2-4)

Skilled weavers demonstrate Fytiotiko textiles on the loom, with embroideries to examine and medieval stories behind the craft. You can also see zivania distillation and halloumi making, then browse stalls for resi, loukoumades, palouzes, breads and honey pies. Leave time for the textile exhibition and village views.

Akamas geology, fossils and coastal scenery fill a guided day through the peninsula. The route heads through Pegeia into countryside and forest landscapes, with an introduction to the natural processes that shaped Cyprus over millions of years. Rural traditions and Akamas history round out the outing.

Fyti’s characteristic geometric patterns and colours lead this celebration of the village’s textile tradition. You get a close look at the craftsmanship behind Fytiotiko weaving and the heritage attached to it across the Pafos region. It is a focused choice for anyone drawn to traditional making and cultural preservation.

Carob syrup takes centre stage through tastings, traditional preparation and dishes made with terazomelo. You can learn why the ingredient matters to Cypriot culinary heritage, then try hands-on workshops designed for adults and children. Cypriot music, traditional dances and local flavours carry the programme into the evening.

Cypriot dances, music and traditional flavours frame an evening devoted to carob and the heritage of Pano Akourdalia. Hands-on workshops let adults and children take part, while the programme connects carob syrup with village culture. Come for a practical, food-led introduction to carob and carob syrup.
