Tucked into the pine-scented heights of the Troodos mountains, the Presidential Country Residence is one of Cyprus's most quietly guarded addresses — a place most islanders have never set foot in. On Sunday, 6 September, that changes for a single day, when the estate opens its gates to anyone who makes the journey up into the mountains.
The occasion is the third edition of the festival «Πάμε...», a programme of events that has quietly built a following among those who appreciate culture served in an exceptional setting. The combination of the residence's formal grounds, the cool mountain air, and a curated lineup of activities makes for an afternoon that feels genuinely unlike anything else on the island's September calendar.
Organisers have put together a programme substantial enough to justify the drive — whether you're coming from Nicosia, Limassol, or anywhere else on the island. The estate sits roughly ninety minutes from the coast, making it an ideal Sunday excursion before the summer heat finally begins to ease.
Entry is free of charge, which removes every possible reason not to go. Visitors are advised to check the schedule in advance, as the event runs for a limited number of hours and the grounds, however spacious, are likely to draw a crowd.
