On Saturday, September 12, 2026 (11:00 – 19:00), Simou Village Square opens its doors to a grand celebration dedicated to the culture, the land, and its people. Simou Agrofest 2026 is not just a festival, but a living ark of memory and revival of the old customs that kept our land alive through the centuries.

Come join us to honor the staple products that nourished generations of Cypriots—from bread kneading, traditional threshing, and wheat grinding, to the authentic preparation of trahanas, halloumi, anari, and warm palouzes.
