Weekend ideas for Sept. 19–20
The weekend is looking much friendlier than Friday’s stormy weather, with plenty of sunshine and temperatures of around 31 C in Limassol and 32–33 C in Nicosia.
Sunday sailing and lunch by the marina
Sunday looks like the better day for uninterrupted sunshine. Head out early, stop for a swim if conditions allow, then return for a relaxed lunch overlooking the boats. Remember to check the latest marine forecast before setting sail—a sunny forecast does not always mean a well-behaved sea.
Limassol Marina restaurants and information
Avdimou swim and the Anogyra Pasteli Festival
Start Sunday with a swim at Avdimou Bay before heading inland to Anogyra for the village’s annual Pasteli Festival. Visitors can watch traditional carob syrup and pasteli being made while enjoying local food, music and Cypriot hospitality.
Indian culture beside the Limassol seafront
Namaste Cyprus brings an evening of Indian music, dance and culture to the Marios Tokas Municipal Garden Theatre on Sunday from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. It is an easy addition after a day sailing or relaxing along the coast.
Advance booking is recommended.
Traditional Cyprus in Flasou
The free “Back to the Old Days—Flavors of Milk” festival begins at 4:30 p.m. Saturday at the Flasou–Linou primary schoolyard. Expect traditional dairy products, live demonstrations, food, music and village hospitality until midnight.
English-language comedy in Nicosia
“1 Irishman in Nicosia” brings an evening of English-language stand-up comedy to the capital at 9 p.m. Saturday. A good choice for anyone who wants to spend the day outdoors and end it somewhere cool—with someone else doing the talking.
Advance booking is required.
Cyprus’s first DOG FEST
DOG FEST takes over Hall 6 at the Cyprus State Fair in Nicosia on Saturday and Sunday. The two-day event brings together animal experts, pet brands, educational activities and entertainment for dogs, their owners and anyone who simply cannot walk past a puppy without stopping.
