Celebrate the Environment

Almyra and Annabelle are joining forces this year to celebrate World Environment Day. Following the example of its official observation by the United Nations, our celebration of the environment will occur on 16 June. Gather on the promenade at 10:00 by our seaside restaurants, Ouzeri and Mediterraneo, and participate in our art performance! You are asked to bring plastic bottles—the more colourful the better—that we can use in the creation of an art piece. If you see any plastic waste on your way to the celebration, please pick it up and add it to our stock. Artists Katerina Foukara and Arsenty Lysenkov and teenaged students from their art studio will take the lead in assembling a work that draws attention to the problem of marine plastics and the need for recycling. They will also make a ten-metre square drawing of marine creatures with charcoal on the concrete promenade. Those passing by will be encouraged to continue the project by drawing on the promenade throughout the harbour. Local officials will join in the celebration. Let’s get everyone in Pafos interested in keeping the harbour free from plastic waste! After the celebration, the art piece will be completely recycled.
