Party time this weekend in Cyprus: the great annual carnival and parade! All Cyprus celebrated the Carnival with wonderful costumes and parties but the capital of fun was Limassol where the parade took place. Even the tourists enjoyed this great celebration and they also wore funny dresses and masks.
These traditions date back to ancient times to the particular days when Dionysus ruled the Mediterranean as a divinity of mystery and wine.
Although these days the carnival fiesta is just an entertainment and amusement festivity, it attracts thousands of locals and tourists and it colors the Cyprus streets with joy and a very good time.
It will never compete with the Rio Carnival in Brasil. But what can expect from the cypriots?
