Tala is a good place to be over EasterSaturday at midnight is usually a church service and after church you see all the people walking home with thier candles, cupping the flames to try to prevent them going out before they get them home. Its good luck if they get home still alight.
I had a look in this month's Grapevine, but nothing listed at all for Easter events, which is disappointing.Thanks Cherie , do you know any details of what is happening , where and when in Tala ?
Sorry , to ask , but I have searched the main information sites. Such as this one and Anglo Info , but there is very little information out there for us newbies ?
I can see it might be one those cases of seeing lovely things happened in the news afterwards !
We will just drive around and hope for the best.
Happy Easter to everyone.
Thanks Geraldine.I had a look in this month's Grapevine, but nothing listed at all for Easter events, which is disappointing.
There is a dog show on down at the harbour on Sunday, maybe some other events taking place down there, but would think it's the bigger villages with events, perhaps Kouklia, Peyia.
Just searched through back copy of Cyprus Living mag, Aphrodite Hills are having an Easter Market on Sunday, 11am -4pm, tel 26828045 for further details, but I understand the Easter Bunny will be there, bravo:clap2:
I must admit I feel like contacting Grapevine, they are in an ideal position to promote the islands activities.Thanks Geraldine.
I too have been searching the web , and there is little or no information on what is happening in Pafos. Other than it saying that it is a bigger celebration than Christmas !
Even the main Pafos tourism sites have nothing listed.
Imagine you were here on holiday with your friends and family for a few days , how would you know what to do ?
Where is all the info about these bonfires and candle walk home from the churches.
Pafos tourist office need a bit of a kick !
I know there must be loads going on this weekend , all over the area. We all need to be aware of it , so the new people to Pafos can enjoy , what the current and previous inhabitants have enjoyed for years.
Last Easter, my kids were over, we went to our village church for the service, it is a tiny old church and was packed to the rafters, the service was about 2 hours long and at the end you light your candle from your neighbour and in turn hold your candle out for others. H&S would have a field day!We went yesterday to the big church in Kato Pafos.
It is beautiful inside. There was a long queue of local people , of all ages , waiting to kiss and pray at a golden bible and many icons . I spoke with one of the friendly locals and she told me about the big bonfire and candles. So tonight We will be their at 11pm. Hopefully it will be nice and we be able to get home with our candle still alight. Apparently the burning flame has come from Greece.
Happy Easter to everyone.

There is also the new Nick Faldo designed course just outside Geroskipou.We went to Aphrodite Hills today. Good atmosphere , hundreds of people , including many locals. Had a buffet lunch with wine , nice meal , live music ...cost 100 euros ! Seemed a bit expensive for 2people !
Last week , had Waiter service meal in Minthis Hills Golf Club restaurant , 4 people , total cost 70 euros And was excellent . Will be interested when the traditional village square at Minthis Hills will be finished how these 2 Golf resorts compare.
