Six November festivals across Cyprus, from zivania to mushrooms
Pelendri's zivania celebration, a wellness gathering in Limassol and Spilia's mushroom weekend are among the events filling the calendar this month.
November on the island is filling up with village celebrations and city gatherings, as reported by Cyprus Mail. Pelendri in the Limassol district opens the season on Sunday November 8 with its zivania festival, running from 10am to 10pm with no entry charge.
Food, books and wellbeing follow. Lythrodontas hosts its first Farmers Fest on November 15 at Lexeko Estate, with tickets at €10 for adults and €5 for children, while Limassol's book fair returns to the Lanitis Carob Mills from November 20 to 22.
Spilia closes the month with its eighth mushroom festival on November 21 and 22, held daily from 11am to 7pm.
What it means for residents
For families and weekend planners, the next few weeks offer cheap or free outings within easy driving distance of the main towns — a practical alternative to a day at the beach now that the weather has turned.
- Plan around the dates. Three of the events fall on the same mid-November weekend, so pick one rather than trying to fit in several.
- Check costs first. Village festivals are generally free, but the Lythrodontas gathering charges admission and the Limassol wellness event has its own programme online.
- Expect crowds in small villages. Parking in places like Pelendri and Spilia is limited, so arriving early makes the day easier.
