Join us for a delightful two-day celebration in the heart of the Limassol mountains. The 'Days of Commandaria and Traditions' festival is a heartfelt tribute to Cyprus’s most iconic treasure: Commandaria, the world’s oldest named wine. Set in the charming village of Kalo Chorio—one of the few places with the historic privilege of producing this legendary sweet wine—this event offers a unique window into Cypriot heritage.
