Ready for the big trip on New Year's Eve, with bags full of gifts, with his elves assisting and working hard and with a hug of smiles and love, Santa hits the mountains. On the mountain areas of Limassol, the true, snowy, Christmas village awaits for him to take his place, in a spot which has been one of the most beautiful picture in winter Cyprus lately.

In the square of Kyperounta village, which has found its own unique way to celebrate the New Year, the Christmas village comes alive for good. Young and old are invited by Santa Claus to celebrate in his company the last hours of 2016 in an idyllic landscape. From early in the afternoon, before sunlight completely goes away, people will gather in the square to celebrate with beautiful activities.
