Delightful exhibition good enough to eat

When we think of Paphos, and how sweet it is, there is no doubt that the famous loukoumia (Cyprus delight) come to mind. But it is eating the sweets that most people consider, not using them as pieces of art as for an exhibition included in the European Capital of Culture Pafos2017 events.

At Geroskipou square on Friday students from seven elementary schools of the area will create a sweet mosaic. The theme of the mosaic will be decided by the schools, but one thing is for sure, with the traditional delight used as their mosaic tiles, this exhibition will be good enough to eat.

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.
