The village of Lania welcomes us once more

For another year, the Women of Lania will be welcoming all to walk along the picturesque lanes of the village, while also taking a stroll among some of the village’s open courtyards this coming weekend.

This year is the thirteenth year that these women have made May the month for the village of Lania in Limassol to really shine. The weekend of the organisers’ pick is always a great one for the whole family to get out in nature and enjoy the clean air while visiting the village’s wine press, olive mill, shoemaker’s museum, the Commandaria museum, painter’s galleries, local taverns and coffee shops. You will also be able to take part in a handmade jewellery workshop and buy different items from a charity stall.

The courtyards will be open on both days from 11am until 5pm. Saturday afternoon will also include music and dance by the Trimiklini Double Bridge dance group and Trimiklini Primary School pupils from 5.15pm until 6.30pm, while Sunday will end with a musical bang, again from 5.15pm until 6.30pm, with a live violin and lute performance by The Goldfinches.

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
