Second Authentically Cypriot Festival held in Engomi

The second Authentically Cypriot Festival took place on September 27, 2026, at the outdoor area of the Alphamega supermarket in Engomi. The event served as a celebration of the island’s cultural identity, drawing attendees of all ages to experience traditional customs, crafts, and music.

Visitors were provided with a variety of traditional Cypriot food and beverages, including local coffee, rose cordial with milk, fresh palouze, trachana soup, halloumi, souvla, and slow-roasted kleftiko. The festival aimed to bridge the gap between generations, allowing older visitors to reminisce about heritage while providing younger attendees with an introduction to traditional Cypriot hospitality and social customs.

The initiative focused on promoting the preservation of cultural practices through communal participation. No further details regarding future editions were announced, though the event was noted for its warm public response and successful integration of traditional culinary elements into a contemporary setting.
