1st Hunting and Habitats Festival in Kannavia and Agia Eirini

About the event

The first Hunting and Habitats Festival fills two mountain villages with wildlife, hunting heritage and the flavour of rural Cypriot life. There are hands-on demonstrations of halloumi making, zivania distilling and wood-fired bread baking, alongside folk music, traditional dancing, a polyphonic choir, an archery display and nature documentaries. Walkers can join a guided historical trail, either an easy 4.5 km route or a moderate 5.8 km one. Children have their own programme of creative games, Survivor Games, activities from the Forestry Department and a small petting zoo of tame farm animals, and there is a corner of traditional Cypriot board games for everyone. It runs from 5pm to 9pm on Saturday and 10am to 8pm on Sunday, with a little shuttle bus doing the rounds. Admission is free.
