Village
Culture Night & Donkey Riding For a Taste of Cyprus

This unique and exceptional experience offers you tha chance to explore the majestic Cypriot countryside and is the ideal way to discover and capture the original spirit of the island.

The journey unfolds through quaint villages and picturesque orange groves to the 'Xeros' river valley, near the village of Kelokedara, which is the perfect place for nature lovers.

Located beside the river is a donkey farm - a haven for the Cyprus donkey that has been created for these gentle creatures to live and reproduce, under veterinary supervision and care. The farm itself also serves as an open museum of folk art and rural life on the island.

Upon arrival you will be given the warmest of welcomes and can then sample various traditional products. Taste village wine, the spirit of Zivania (fire water) and the sweet dessert wine Commandaria. Try some local delicacies such as Halloumi cheese, olives, local oven bread, carob syrup, honey, loukoumia and other delights.

A fantastic donkey ride through the peaceful countryside is next, under the watchful supervision of our professional staff to ensure both your comfort and safety. The ride will take you to the abandoned 14th Century Monastery, 'Panayia tou Sindi', which has been expertly restored by UNESCO.

Back on the farm, a delicious BBQ meal awaits you, complete with home-cooked specialities, all to be washed down with wine, Zivania and juice for the children.

Additionally, the farms dance team, will preform a show of Cypriot folk dancing and musicm as well as international music. You can sit back and enjoy the entertainment, or join in the folk dances.
