This year the Kataklysmos festival; commonly known to foreigners as the water festival, will be celebrated from 22^nd May 2010 and the festival will continue for the whole weekend. Dancing, singing, great food, competitions and fantastic entertainment fills the whole weekend in Ayia Napa, Protaras and other coastal towns. If you don't want to miss out on this fun packed festive time book your Protaras Private holiday villa accommodation or rental apartment in Protaras so you can watch this spectacular event. Visit our website today and book now your Private Protaras villa or self catering Protaras apartment. Legend has it that flood wiped out almost all living creatures except Noah's Ark and its contents to give birth to a new pure generation. Also it is believed that ceremonies are held in honour of Aphrodite and Adonis. Traditionally the holiday was celebrated by Cypriots at the beach of Ammochostos and the celebrations would fall on the Pentecost Sunday and on the Monday of the Holy Spirit. Nowadays the celebrations occur in all the major coastal resorts, Agia Napa, Protaras Limassol, Larnaca, Paphos and Polis. Depending on the town the celebrations could sometimes be extended into the next week. Go online today and check out some of our fantastic Protaras rental properties or Ayia Napa villas to rent so you can enjoy the celebrations. The festival starts with an ecclesiastical ceremony. Then a priest throws a cross into the sea and a diver recovers it. He is blessed and is given a sovereign, and then the festivities continue with swimming competitions, traditional dance and song. Purification of body and soul is symbolised by a dousing of water so don't be surprised if you are the victim of a water spurt from a water gun as you stroll along Protaras Avenue or along the coast of Ayia Napa.

Protaras and Ayia Napa will stage concerts and games near the waterfront close to the golden beach of Fig Tree Bay, over a three-day period. The celebrations include traditional dances, water sports displays and competitions as well as concerts by well-known artists. Fig Tree Bay in Protaras has held some fantastic celebrations over the years including live concerts and fireworks with famous singers. Don't miss out on the concert and festivities this year which will be held in Protaras, with a live concert at Fig Tree Bay Protaras on the Sunday after the amazing fireworks display at 9:00pm.

Cyprus at Easter

Holiday makers in Cyprus at Easter time strolling through the villages of Ayia Napa or Protaras Paralimni would be forgiven for thinking they had been whisked into a scene from Alice in Wonderland.

Giant paper-mâché rabbits, chickens and decorated Easter eggs are commonplace on the corners of the streets in Paralimni, Dherynia, Sotira, Protaras and Ayia Napa as Cyprus celebrates one of the most important times in its calendar year. Anyone taking a self catering Ayia Napa villa holiday or Protaras villa holiday in Cyprus either on their own, as a couple or with families will certainly be in their element with the Easter celebrations. In Ayia Napa around the Ayia Napa monastery you will find symbols of Easter in abundance. If you are booked to stay in one of our Ayia Napa holiday villas or Ayia Napa holiday apartments, Proteras holiday villa or traditional Cyprus village holiday over the Easter period you will be able to enjoy the celebrations and traditions of the Cypriot people.

Protaras holiday villa rentals or Ayia Napa holiday apartment rentals are popular at this time and Easter is arguably one of the best times of the year to see traditional Cyprus in its full glory.

A month or so later, the Mediterranean waters have warmed up and Cyprus' greenery has started to disappear which is more commonly noted by the tourists visiting the island. Around April time, Cyprus is perfect for those who enjoy warm but milder temperatures and also want to make the most of Cypriot flora and fauna. My Property Cyprus has accommodation for the holiday maker looking to seek a Protaras holiday villa or an Ayia Napa holiday apartment or even a traditional Cyprus village holiday during the Easter period and all year round.

During Easter time you can take a walk along the stunning near empty golden beaches like Fig Tree Bay in Protaras or tuck into fresh fish in Ayia Napa with a Greek salad alongside Ayia Napa's breathtaking harbour - it really is heavenly. While Lent is an intensely solemn religious time, accompanied by strict fasting, it is then followed by a wonderful celebratory feasting period over Easter - a fantastic time to experience the true depth of Cypriot tradition, Cyprus culture and Cyprus history.
