It is almost that time of the year again, the annual wine festival held in Limassol. Limassol
(Lemesos) is known as the party city of Cyprus and when you visit the wine festival you will
see why! It is also Cyprus’s wine capital and has hosted the annual event every year since
1961. This popular festival is held at the Municipal Gardens which is right on the promenade,
(and also where the much debated Limassol Zoo is located).
The Wine Festival initially began as a tribute to Cyprus's wine making tradition. Every year
it has gotten bigger and better with more variety of wines, activites, Cypriot foods and
events. It was originally inspired by the ancient festivals dedicated to the God of Wine,
Dionysos and the Goddess of Beauty and Love, Aphrodite. Some featured events are
folkloric dances, songs and theatrical performances from local and international artistic
groups. There is wine on offer from large and small wineries that can be sampled for free
with the minimal entrance fee of 5 Euros. Along with the entrance fee you will receive a
free bottle of wine from the winery of your choice and for just 1 or 2 Euros you can choose
a souvenir plastic wine goblet of your choice that will be refilled all night! Lastly, guests
have the opportunity to watch or participate in dancing on grapes to tread them which is a
popular event as you don't often see a traditional wine press. It is fun to watch and
depending on how much wine you have had it is also fun to do!
Another of the the festival’s trademarks is the towering “Vraka Man” that welcomes
visitors at the entrance with the phrase “Drink wine to be healthy”. For those who don't
know the "Vraka" is a traditional Cypriot way of dress specifically referring to the pants.
The basic costume has the pleated baggy pants or "vraka" which are seen in one way or
another on all the Greek Islands. This is also worn with a waistcoat which is called a
"yileko" and a jacket or "zibouni". The vraka is dyed black for older men and blue for
younger boys. The shirt is usually cotton for day to day use and a silk shirt is worn on
special days. Depending what region you are in will determine the ornate decorations
on it. Since this is a traditional Cypriot festival and hardly anyone wears a "vraka"
anymore the statue is a welcome and friendly site and reminder of some of the
older Cypriot traditions.
This is an event where I would highly suggest taking a bus or taxi to or the free
shuttle bus that runs from all cities. You can find more information about transportation
that is offered by the Lemesos Municipality by clicking here. There is also a free public
parking area east of the Municipal Garden Theatre (Pafilia ground).compliments of the
Limassol Municipality however, I would recommend a designated driver!
The festival will kick off on August 27th, 2010 and conclude on September 5th. It opens
at 7:00 pm and closes at 11:00pm except on Friday and Saturday when it stays open an
extra half hour until 11:30pm.
Ticket price:
Adult: €5.00 including a bottle of wine from the winery of your choice: ETKO, KEO, LOEL, SODAP

In 2006 property prices in Cyprus were still skyrocketing and for many of us the prices were way out of reach. The idea of buying a holiday or retirement home in Cyprus faded into another fantasy. Those who bought homes at the height of the property boom and are trying to sell have now seen their investments turn out to be nothing but a burden, unable to sell them or keep up with the payments. Despite the flood of properties on the market and losses many buyers have experienced this is good news for those who want to get into the real estate game whether for investment, a second home or a retirement home. Prices have dropped up to 50% in some cases and those are the homes that are the hot deals.
Only four years ago, "experts" were saying that the cost of building material was rising so much that it was just a matter of time before we ran out of material and this was the cause for the tremendous increases in home prices. Others said the fast growth of the world population with longer life span was to blame. There are many reasons for the dramatic increases and the entire global property owner community were in a whirlwind of euphobic prosperity due to these changes. Prices were doubling in a matter of one year in some cases, so everyone was trying to get in the game before prices were too high. However, this is where many people made mistakes. The old saying, "What goes up must come down" held true to form when the housing bubble burst. Although many people made a lot of money buying and selling at just the right time but, many also got caught in the crisis that ended it all and they saw their portfolio shrink and shrink. This brings me back to the point where all of us who saw the prices balloon out of our reach are now looking at very affordable properties within the average persons budget. Dreams can still be realized.
In the meantime many Cyprus property buyers have joined campaigns to draw attention to the difficulties of the Cyprus property system. However, I am not sure how far this can really go because the EU Commission has already said that the Cyprus government is already taking action to revise and introduce new legislation to solve problems. It is also suggested that such matters are outside of EU jurisdiction and remain the sole responsibility of the EU State in question. There are those who claim that prices in Cyprus held strong - not true - and those sellers who continue to hold out so they can recapture what they paid which can take awhile. The reality is there is no better time to buy property in Cyprus than right now. Prices are generally realistic and although you may find some overpriced listings and overpriced developers that is not the norm nowadays. In both cases a good, strong, and informed negotiator can still get the developers and sellers to lower their asking price, but be prepared to walk away if sellers don't budge as someone around the corner will. If you spend the time searching for the right property and comparing all the pros and cons you will find everything you want in Paphos or elsewhere in Cyprus.
