Acropolis News

As part of our cultural program, we recently visited the Archaeological Museum of Nicosia. Its numerous rooms are witness of all the civilizations that have passed through Cyprus throughout the course of history. We also had the opportunity to get to know and admire a new exhibition of archaeological pieces, found in recent excavations carried out so far in the Paphos region. Professor and anthropologist Fernand Schwarz accompanied us and shared his knowledge during this enriching visit!

Nicosia and Limassol volunteers took to the streets the day before Christmas dressed as Santa Claus, reindeers, angels and elves, to sing carols and share good wishes with merchants and passersby, many of whom didn’t hesitate to join the joyful activities!

The volunteers of New Acropolis Cyprus visited the nursing home “Ayios Dimitrianos”, situated in Dali, and offered a beautiful and joyful day of entertainment to its residents, featuring  traditional cypriot music and folk dances. The residents of the nursing home sang and danced with volunteers and some of them even recited “tsiattista” (improvised short traditional cypriot rhymes)!
