Serving as European Capital of Culture is one of the biggest, most ambitious honours that a
city can attain. Paphos is proud to be awarded this coveted title and has already begun celebrations with outdoor events working up to 2017. Join the celebrations with a programme of films chosen for their gastronomic and romantic themes; it’s a relaxing way to fill your August evenings. The culture continues with The 1st Folklore Festival of Ktima on 28th and 29th August, triumphing traditional Cypriot music, dance and food within the framework of myth and religion, heritage and tradition. Autumn welcomes a Monodrama showcase of plays and performances and a series of events surrounding “The Garden of Taste” and wines. Exhibitions, public art installations, musical and theatrical performances, street shows,
gastronomy symposiums and a historical conference will continue brightening the streets up until and including 2017—all excellent reasons to revisit Paphos.
