PAPHOS, CYPRUS - travel shorts
Situated on the south-west coast of Cyprus, Paphos is the ideal holiday destination for families seeking sunshine and relaxation. Yet there is more to Paphos than that: lovers of archaeology, history and culture will find a wealth of attractions. Whether you are devotee of archaeology, folklore, ethnography or the Byzantine Empire, you will find something to interest you in one of Paphos' twelve museums. Beyond Paphos itself, it is only two miles to the Tombs of the Kings, a Unesco World Heritage Site. For sports enthusiasts, Paphos offers a variety of water sports and has three golf courses. What's more, you can go horse riding, cycling or hiking in the nearby countryside. From the picturesque harbour with its medieval castle, you can enjoy a trip on a catamaran or perhaps a speedboat. If you want to do some souvenir shopping before you go home, Paphos is the perfect place for it.
Weddings 21 | temporary exhibition of the Ethnographic Museum in Kraków
The decision comes first. This one is for life. It is followed by months, sometimes years of preparation. Plans, dilemmas, choices, tips, offers, calculations, invoices, superstitions. Finally the big day arrives. Emotion, power of words. Smiles, kisses, hugs, wishes, gifts, toasts. Hot soup, cold vodka. The night, noise, hurting legs, dizziness. Trance.
For five years (2009–2014) the Ethnographic Museum in Kraków investigated the contemporary face of the wedding rite. We were interested in the language of the wedding narrative in which the young couple's dilemmas are intertwined with pressures of social expectations, consumer fashion with struggles with tradition, business with emotions.

Yeronisos - Cyprus
The island which lies 280 metres from the shore of western Cyprus has been uninhabited since the 14th or 15th century.[1] It has an area of 26000 square metres and rises 21.65 metres from sea level.[2] Geologically the island consists of a hard calcarenite crust of Pleistocene marine terraces overlying a soft marl core.[2]
The toponym Holy Island is an ancient one. Pliny speaks of an island called Hiera, near Paphos, and Strabo mentions a place called Hierocepis nearby Paphos and Akamas.[1] It is likely that the name refers to the Apollo sanctuary that stood there in the 1st century. The island was first excavated in 1982 by Sophocles Hadjisavvas following a proposal to build a hotel on the island.[2] He quickly established the presence of Hellenistic remains on the island, which halted all further attempts to build on the island.[2] In 1989, Joan Breton Connelly from New York University heard about the work and impressed by the range of the material joined the excavations which have continued since then.[1]
The excavations have established three periods of occupation on Yeronisos. Early Chalcolithic (3800 BC), late Hellenistic (80-30 BC, and Byzantine (6th-7th century and 13th century). The most intense of this activity is the late Hellenistic period at a time when Cleopatra ruled Cyprus.[2] Artefacts include coins, pottery, glass, and inscriptions.[3] Limestone amulets, identical to those used in Cypriot sanctuaries of Apollo, point to ritual activity and the worship of Apollo.[1] The island was apparently abandoned following a devastating earthquake in 1st century BC/AD.[3] Low-level activity on the island begins again in the 6th century AD. when a reservoir and animal shelters were built.
