Sunday 6th May
Athens Avenue Finikoudes 6pm
The Anthestiria Festival is a celebration of spring and nature's rebirth. A parade of flower floats and people carrying beautiful, fresh flowers fills Larnaca's seafront promenade.
The festivities date back to ancient Greek times, when feasts were organised in Athens every four years to honour the god of theatre and parties, Dionysus. Anthestiria were also the festivals of souls, plants and flowers, celebrating the rebirth of man and nature. The word Anthestiria derives from the Greek word anthos, meaning flower.
