Zivania is a traditional alcoholic beverage made in Cyprus.
Is a distillate produced from pomace (or marcs), residue of grapes.
Zivania has been produced in Cyprus since the time The Republic of Venice ruled the island, around the end of the 14th century. Since 2004, Zivania has been protected under the EU regulations as a product unique to Cyprus and as such cannot be produced in any other country and marketed under that name.
The festival takes place in Alona and Pelendri in two consecutive weekends. It includes distillation of zivania at the venues, promotional kiosks with traditional products, and music and dance programmes.
The local sights are open for visitors during the festival.
