Every summer, the courtyard of «To Erma» — a bookshop-café tucked into the lanes of old Nicosia — becomes one of the city's most quietly beloved open-air cinemas. Therino Cine Erma returns in 2026 with two free Monday-night screenings, offering a rare chance to watch films under the stars in a setting that feels genuinely unhurried and local.
The programme pairs two very different moods. On Monday, 6 July 2026 at 20:00, the screen opens with «Διακοπές στην Ιμπίζα» (France, 2019, 87 min), a sun-drenched French comedy directed by Arnaud Lemort — a fitting choice for a warm July evening. The following Monday, 13 July 2026 at 20:00, the series closes with «Θανάση Πάρε τ' Όπλο Σου» (Greece, 1972, 86 min), a beloved Greek comedy that has lost none of its charm across the decades.
The venue itself is part of the appeal. «To Erma» sits within the old walled city, and its stone courtyard — shaded, intimate, steeped in the textures of historic Nicosia — provides a backdrop that no purpose-built cinema can replicate. Admission is free for both evenings, though advance seat reservations are strongly recommended given the event's popularity.
Whether you are a film enthusiast, a curious visitor exploring the old town, or simply someone looking for a civilised way to spend a Monday evening in July, Therino Cine Erma delivers exactly the kind of effortless cultural experience that makes Nicosia worth lingering in.
