Green Monday is a traditional Cypriot spring holiday celebrated outdoors. On this day, families and friends gather for picnics, fly kites, take part in games and enjoy fasting foods that mark the beginning of Lent.
On 23 February, the celebrations will take place at Latchi Municipal Beach. The organisers have prepared an entertaining programme for both residents and visitors, starting at 12:00 pm. Throughout the day, guests can enjoy performances by folk dance groups, traditional games and family activities, as well as face painting for children.
Visitors will be offered traditional Cypriot fasting dishes, including fasolada (bean and vegetable soup) and lagana - a special flatbread prepared especially for Green Monday. The food will be provided free of charge, following the local tradition of hospitality.
The event will be held outdoors along Latchi Municipal Beach, making it a great option for a relaxed family day out and an opportunity to experience Cypriot culture. Admission is free. Media sponsor - Zenith 96.4 FM.
