Join the Mahalepi Festival and indulge in Cyprus’ beloved summer dessert. With the sweet fragrance of rosewater in the air, the quaint village of Amiantos in Lemesos district comes alive in a celebration of rich heritage and tradition.

Taste Mahalepi, explore how it’s traditionally made, and discover its modern variations. Take part in workshops such as zivania distillation and basket weaving, enjoy games and other activities designed for all ages, and browse stalls filled with local delights like trachanas (a dry mixture of grain and fermented milk, ideal for soups), sousioukkos (a grape must-stick with almonds), tsamarella (cured goat meat), spoon sweets (fruit preserved in syrup), jams, wine and much more.

Join a guided hike along the nearby scenic Loumata ton Aeton trail, and round off a perfect day with live music, “tsattista” poetry and Cypriot folk dances.

Head to Amiantos village, soak in its charm, and immerse yourself in authentic Cypriot culture.
