Particularly in Limassol, the established carnival starts...for the last 100 years, it is a celebration of expression and relief against the adversity of our time.

The Carnival is essentially a folk festival that is the last established since antiquity to date and aims to ease the mood of all those around it. Across Cyprus there is a celebration of wine and plentiful food, especially fasting food dishes that make a difference.

Carnival is associated with antiquity and has many parameters regarding its history and how it evolved in modern times. Limassol holds the largest annual carnival throughout Cyprus, which in turn extends to many cities in Cyprus such as Pafos, where there is also a popular celebration with many cheerful events and events that entertain many people throughout the Lent period in Cyprus.
