O’Vrakas Tavern in Pissouri – great food, friendly team and wonderful local hospitality.

A visit to nearby Pissouri never disappoints; just a 10 minute drive from Aphrodite Hills rests this pretty, picturesque traditional Cypriot village up a little windy hill. The village square is nestled within the heart of the village, boasting tavernas, bars, a church and plenty an interesting character!

O’Vrakas Taverna is our pick of the restaurants here; Haris is a brilliant Sommelier and his, alongside his team’s, hospitality will have you dining with a smile. Warm hospitality and friendly service compliment the wonderful menu (with great free-from options). Don’t miss out on the bouzouki nights that are hosted here every Wednesday night, with live acoustic Greek music for an authentic Cypriot dining experience, and you can ‘feast like a local’ every Sunday lunchtime with the all-you-can-eat Cypriot BBQ (also accompanied by live Greek music).

This year, Haris has even kindly offered to subsidise taxi costs for groups of 8 – 12 persons for Aphroditerentals.com guests staying on the Resort. If you book a group of this size to dine at O’Vrakas then Haris will cover €30 each way towards your taxi fare! Please ask Haris for more details: +357 99 312 443.

Kataklysmos – festival of the flood this weekend

In Cyprus, Kataklysmos festival, or ‘Festival of the Flood’, is a religious holiday for the feast of the Pentecost, otherwise known as ‘Whitsun’, or ‘The Day of the Holy Spirit’, as it commemorates the descent of the Holy Ghost to the Apostles. In Cyprus, however, the celebrations are also connected to the ancient ceremonies organized in honour of Aphrodite and Adonis. Kataklysmos is an annual festival, celebrated 50 days after Greek Orthodox Easter.

Water is the main focus of the festival and locals are often found yielding water balloons and water guns in the villages. All coastal cities organize concerts, games and other events near the waterfront. Be ready to get wet at Kataklysmos!

15th – 17th June 2019:

In Limassol, the events of Kataklysmos take place along the seaside over a three-day period. You will find plenty of kiosks, entertainment and competitions by the sea.

In Paphos, Kataklysmos is celebrated outside the castle at the harbour. The harbour front is lined with wonderful stalls selling local foods, crafts and souvenirs and is open until late night.

If you’re staying on Aphrodite Hills Resort this weekend, there is also a Kataklysmos event being held in the Village Square on Monday 17th June! See more information HERE.
