About
Unique to Cyprus and celebrated 50 days after Easter, Kataklysmos (meaning ‘flood’) marks the biblical story of Noah and features sea-related celebrations along every coastal town. Seafronts fill with music, dance, loukoumades stalls, folk performances, and water games — the tradition of splashing water on strangers is a beloved symbol of purification and renewal. Larnaca hosts the largest celebrations on its palm-lined seafront.
