Limassol Wine Festival, Cyprus

I have a friend who lives in Cyprus who managed to get to the wine festival in Limassol this year. This is what David told me about the Limassol wine festival.

"The wine festival was a very cheap evening out and I would recommend it to anyone visiting Cyprus in early September. It was 5 euro to get in but you can drink as much wine as you want and get a free bottle to take home as well. There are fashion shows, dancing and bouzouki music and a great many stalls selling cypriot food and snacks."

Since David told me about this festival I have read that the Limassol Wine Festival is one of the largest of the festivals in Cyprus and is held every year in the municipal gardens along the sea-front near the old town of Limassol.

Troodos Mountains Cyprus

The Troodos mountain range stretches across most of the western side of Cyprus and I believe is the biggest mountain range in Cyprus.

I was lucky enough to take a jeep safari into the Troodos Mountains on a family holiday in the Summer of 2000.



During the Summer, tourists can visit the Troodos mountains and enjoy idyllic walks through the pine forests, on the look out for the local wildlife, the mouflon, as well as photographing the beautiful scenery and views.


A visit to one of the churches or the monastery that nestles in the Troodos mountains is a good way to spend a few hours and the architecture and mosaics to be found in the churches are truly stunning.
During the Winter months, the Troodos mountains is a good place to ski.

I would highly recommend a visit to the beautiful Troodos Mountains in Cyprus and a jeep safari is a good way to see alot of the mountain region taking in the scenery, a visit to a church and the mouflon enclosure.
