Every year from late November, villages across Cyprus turn their squares and old houses into Christmas villages: stalls with local food and crafts, Santa's house, music and activities for children. The most atmospheric are in the Troodos mountains, where there's a real chance of cold weather and sometimes snow.
Below are the Christmas villages we know of for 2026, with their dates and programmes. Most open on weekends only, so check the dates before you drive up.
