Village square, Agios Dimitrios Marathasas, Cyprus
About
Before October bids us farewell, Agios Dimitrios, a small, picturesque community hidden in the green valley of Marathasa up in the Troodos Mountains, invites us to its annual Festival of tradition and culture. Agios Dimitrios village has the name of its patron saint, Saint Dimitrios, who is celebrated on the 26th of October. Hence, the local religious feast ( panigyri ) is combined with the Tradition and Culture Festival. Agios Dimitrios village is known for its red clay pottery , a craft that features in the national List of UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage.
