Festival will be at Zeytinlik Village (Temros, Templos )

festival program will be find from above link.

Zeytinlik lies approx. one mile above the historic port of Girne (Kyrenia), in the foothills of the Kyrenia mountain range, in an area of outstanding beauty.

In 1192 Girne fell to the Crusaders led by Richard the Lionheart, but was then handed on to Guy de Lusignan who (and his heirs) divided the region into feudal estates.

Interestingly, some place names closely resemble the names given to them by the Frankish overlords. The village of Temblos or Templos (Zeytinlik in Turkish) was a Commandery of the Knights Templar.

Zeytinlik formed the end of one of the two escape routes from Saint Hilarion Castle.

Halil, pleasetell your friends in High places to make it illegal to ethnically cleanse Olive trees. Otherwise , in years to come there will be no 'Olive Festival' to celebrate.

Can you imagine a 'Concrete Festival?.

Thats good news my friend on both accounts.

I couldnt give olives up if my life depended on it. Cut out lamb completely that will help a lot. Try kofte made with lean mince (almost fat free, then only grill. No fried stuff at all. There goes the Cypriot cuisine down the drain.

Good luck Halil.

Plant more trees. :lol:
