Melini village, nestled in the Larnaca mountains and known as one of the nine honey villages, is set to transform into a fun-filled haven for both children and adults. On September 15, the village will host the 4th Annual Melinio Children’s Festival, under the patronage of First Lady Philippa Karsera. This exciting event will offer a full day of activities centered around the wonderful world of bees, making it a perfect family outing.
A Day of Bee-themed Fun
From 11am to 7pm, children will be immersed in a variety of interactive activities designed to educate and entertain. The festival will feature magic shows by the whimsical “Wizard of the Hive,” puppet theatre starring Karagiozis and his Melinio spirit, as well as storytelling and fairy tale presentations in both Greek and English. Additional activities like face painting and a bee-themed hair salon will transform young visitors into buzzing little bees.
Become a Beekeeper for a Day
Children will also have the rare chance to experience what it’s like to be a beekeeper. Through an educational tour provided by the Cyprus Beekeepers Association, they will learn the fascinating process of honey production, gaining a deeper appreciation for bees and their important role in nature.
Local Market and Honey Products
In true Cypriot festival tradition, the event will feature a market with over 30 exhibitors showcasing a variety of honey and hive products. This is a perfect opportunity for visitors to explore and taste authentic honey from the Larnaca region, promoting local beekeeping and the natural sweetness of genuine Cypriot honey.
Fun for the Whole Family
Organizers describe the 4th Melinio Children’s Festival as a “unique chance for families to escape to the mountains for a day full of fun, creativity, and education.” Surrounded by nature, festival-goers will learn about the importance of bees to the environment while enjoying a memorable day.
