The Annual International Festival of Arts “Kypria” is one of the most significant cultural events in Cyprus.
It was established in 1991 by the Ministry of Education and Culture. Since then Kypria brings to Cyprus musical collectives, theatrical and ballet troupes, artists, film directors and actors from Cyprus and many countries of the world.
