LEFKOSIA (NICOSIA) WALKS

Get to know the capital by walking

Within the framework of wider efforts to get foreign visitors better acquainted with the old city within the walls, the Lefkosia (Nicosia) Municipality from 1987 established a series of thematic walking tours. These tours have been reorganised to present various new aspects of the old city as well as the city outside the walls. A city like Lefkosia (Nicosia) with its 5000 yearlong history has much to offer. By walking, one gets a better feel for a
place and its yearlong atmosphere, then and now, and a better understanding of its continual cultural development. This is the philosophy upon which these walking tours of Lefkosia (Nicosia) are based.

Every Monday
Chrysaliniotissa and Kaimakli: The Past Restored Guided bus and walking tour.
Starting point: CTO Information Office in Laiki Geitonia at 10:00. Free participation.

KATAKLYSMOS (FLOOD FAIR- DELUGE)
“Kataklysmos” is a religious and popular feast celebrated only in Cyprus. “Kataklysmos”, which means flood, is found in the book of Genesis and in the Greek myth of Deukalion. In both cases it refers to the destruction by flood of almost all-living creatures in order to give birth to a new and moral generation. The ceremonies last for a few days and take place in all sea side towns. Celebrations include various games, performances of folk dances, swimming competitions, boat races, competitions of popular songs known as “tsattista” and the most popular custom, which is the throwing of water to one another. This symbolises the purification of the body and soul.
Festivities in all seaside towns.

KATAKLYSMOS (FLOOD FAIR)
“Kataklysmos” is a religious and popular feast celebrated only in Cyprus. “Kataklysmos”, which means flood, is found in the book of Genesis and in the Greek myth of Deukalion. In both cases it refers to the destruction by flood of almost all-living creatures in order to give birth to a new and moral generation. The ceremonies last for a few days and take place in all sea side towns. Celebrations include various games, performances of folk dances, swimming competitions, boat races, competitions of popular songs known as “tsattista” and the most popular custom, which is the throwing of water to one another. This symbolises the purification of the body and soul.
Festivities in all seaside towns.
