We set out on a crisp November morning, excited for the Zivania Festival in Pelendri. Our friends Steve and Mary joined us, eager to experience the lively festivities and, of course, sample some of Cyprus's famed Zivania. As we entered Pelendri, the village was buzzing with life—locals and visitors alike filled the streets, wandering among stalls offering everything from handmade crafts to delicious Cypriot sweets. The aroma of souvlaki cooking over open flames wafted through the air, mingling with the crisp mountain breeze.
The village square was where the heart of the festival beat strongest. A traditional Cypriot band played on stage, the lilting sounds of the bouzouki mixing with upbeat folk songs. We joined the crowd, clapping along as locals danced, the joy on their faces contagious. Steve and Mary couldn’t help but be swept up by the energy, and we laughed as they tried a few steps with some locals, their enthusiasm more than making up for their lack of rhythm.
