The 13th Carob Festival in Peyeia was a great success, with over 3000 people celebrating the "black gold". The event, held last night, highlighted the region's reputation for its carob trees and historical carob exports.

The Festival attracted visitors from Peyeia, Paphos, as well as tourists from all over Cyprus and abroad. Despite reactions and attempts to cancel the Festival due to concerns about the Toxeftra area and turtles, the residents of Peyeia sent a strong message.
