During the week of Kataklysmos, the Foinikoudes promenade is lined with a large and eclectic array of stalls; kiosks where craftsmen demonstrate local pastimes; a funfair on the beach, and lots of activities and attractions. The premium entertainment programme is richly packed and takes place on two stages (Seafront Stage and Europe Square). The wide variety of featured acts ranges from school children to celebrities, folkloric and modern music and dance, along with the traditional puppet shadow theatre ‘Karakiozis’, and the traditional Cypriot rhyming slang poems ‘Tsiatista’ – also on the UNESCO list.
During the daytime, water-based activities and competitions take place along the seafront, including water sports, jet ski, boating and the like. It is also customary for locals to prank one another by throwing or spraying water on someone when least expected!
