SUMMARY:Traditional Sheep & Goat Halloumi Festival - 3.5.2026
DESCRIPTION:The picturesque\, and spotlessly clean\, village of Prastio (Avdimou)\, honors every aspect of the history and culture of halloumi\, for another year\, with a purely thematic festival\, which will indulge your senses with the interactive and experiential activities\, and will take you on a gastronomic\, historical and religious journey\, while experienced instructors will give unique experiences to the children. \nThe halloumi made with sheep and goat’s milk\, is considered the flag of authentic Cypriot cuisine and a part of the cultural heritage of Cyprus. Its history “travels” to the depths of the centuries\, making it one of the oldest cheeses in the world.  Its production is directly linked to the traditional rural life and social solidarity that characterizes the community of Prastio (Avdimou). \nHalloumi is history. Halloumi  is culture. \nIn addition to the rich traditional gastronomy\, and the live music\, the festival provides the opportunity to make a pilgrimage to the nearby chapel of St. John the Theologian\, where Father Athenodoros will talk to you about the history and art of iconography. \nThe halloumi Festival is organized by the Community Council and all the organized groups of the village. and the gold sponsor is the Deputy Ministry of Tourism. \n  \nFor the programme click here
