Kyrenia Olive Festival / Zeytinlik Olive Festival

The Kyrenia/Zeytinlik Olive Festival is one of the most popular autumn festivals in Northern Cyprus. Several festival listings indicate that the event takes place annually in October, coinciding with the olive harvest. The focus is on olives, olive products, local cuisine, stalls, music, dance, and a village atmosphere. The festival is particularly appealing to visitors because Zeytinlik, as a village, is directly linked to olive cultivation, and the event combines traditional agriculture with a lively street festival. The festival is well-suited for families, offering plenty to see, taste, and discover without the need for a rigid program. As the exact date varies each year, it should only be added after the official announcement.
