19th Ayia Napa Medieval Festival
October in Agia Napa is all about stepping back in time with its exciting “Medieval October” celebration. From October 12th to 19th, 2024, the town transforms into a magical medieval world for its annual Medieval Festival. For eight days, you’ll find yourself surrounded by enchanting fair maidens, mythical fairies, brave knights in armor, dragons, and mysterious villains. It’s a journey full of fantasy, wonder, and adventure. With lively parades, entertaining reenactments of medieval life, and music and storytelling that bring ancient legends to life, the festival creates an unforgettable experience for all ages.
Since it first started in 2006, Agia Napa’s Medieval Festival has grown into one of the largest in Europe. Over the years, it has teamed up with other famous festivals like those in Rhodes, Malta, and Venice. Now, after 18 years, it’s a must-see event for anyone who loves history, culture, and a bit of magic.
During the festival, there’s so much to enjoy! You can catch performances featuring music, dancing, and street theater, all inspired by medieval times. Groups of dancers, musicians, and artists from Cyprus and across Europe put on amazing shows that make you feel like you’re part of the adventure. There are also lively bazaars selling handmade crafts and traditional medieval food, as well as fascinating exhibitions of textiles, weapons, and embroidery. All of this takes place around the beautiful Monastery of Agia Napa, adding to the magical atmosphere.
