Our Easter Fun at the Aliathon!

Traditions and Fun is what Easter is all about...


This year we decided to enhance the Cypriot traditions to the Catholic Easter so our guests can have an idea how we celebrate Easter in Cyprus.


1. Starting with Saturday morning we organized for all of our  young guests a candles decoration and egg painting session at the Aegean Restaurant.


We all had an amazing time and our young friends were so happy with their crafts and eggs.

2. Later on we celebrated at the Pantheon main restaurant with a fantastic Greek dancing show , along with the demonstration of our traditional pastry Flaounes. 












3. On Sunday Morning we started with the beloved Egg Hunt  and we proceed with the Fancy dress game that we enjoyed so much.






4. The best part of our Easter was on Monday where we had the Easter cookies pastry school. Children were divided in two groups where they learned how to make the traditional Easter cookies. They had the chance to spend time and learn from our chef and of course they got certificates for their participation.


You can find our recipe below.....
