Bright Welcome to 2026 in Cyprus: Souvlaki Takes Center Stage!

Cyprus welcomed 2026 with a festive mood and enthusiasm. Cypriots celebrated across the island with family gatherings, food, board games, and fireworks. The traditional New Year's cake (Vasilopita) brought luck to some, while many spent the first day of the year with walks in the countryside. The traditional souvlaki took center stage, enjoyed by Cypriots with loved ones. Wishes for the New Year were sent from Lefkara, a picturesque village that is a popular destination.
