Easter in Cyprus 2026: Village Festivals, Live Music & Parties You Should Know About

Easter in Cyprus isn’t one thing. It’s a whole week of the island shifting gears — village squares filling up with families, stages being set for some of the biggest names in Greek music, and streets turning into open-air parties. Whether you’re into tradition, live performances, or just a good time outdoors, there’s something happening within driving distance.

Here’s a taste of what’s on this Easter. And trust us — there’s a lot more where this came from.
