Thalassa 2026: A Grand Festival of the Sea and Shipping

On October 10, the fifth Thalassa Festival will take place on the Molos Promenade in Limassol—a major celebration dedicated to the sea, shipping, and Cyprus’s maritime culture.

This year’s festival is held under the motto “Discover the Sea—Get to Know Shipping” and is specifically geared toward children and young people.

Guests can look forward to a packed program featuring interactive, educational, and entertaining activities. They’ll have the opportunity to learn more about the world of shipping, maritime professions, the “blue economy,” and educational and career opportunities in the maritime sector.

The organizers will place special emphasis on introducing children to the sea and its inhabitants, marine ecology, and various fields related to marine life.

The festival will feature government agencies, universities, educational institutions, professional associations, and companies from the maritime industry.

This is an opportunity not only to spend an enjoyable day by the sea but also to explore one of the most important aspects of life in Cyprus in a unique way.

It’s a great option for a family weekend—especially for children interested in the sea, ships, technology, nature, and new experiences.
