Two Christmas markets in Cyprus

The first Christmas market took place at Elea golf course near Paphos, Mandy and Tania strolled around the numerous stalls that were selling food and handmade crafts.

There was a live DJ playing festive tunes as Father Christmas turned up to give out gifts to the children.

A small classic car show was just outside the clubhouse and Mandy made sure that she had her photograph taken with the star of the show, a classic Rolls Royce. 

The second Christmas market took place, on a very chilly afternoon down in Pissouri bay, the main road was closed off to allow some stalls to be set up and for the guests to walk around in safety.

The bars and restaurants did a roaring trade and it was good to see so many locals supporting the occasion. 

As dusk fell, a Christmas tree was lit up and singer, Ben Mills, entertained the large crowd, as a small stage was set up on the side of the street.

A small train with a couple of carriages was giving the children a ride around the local streets.
