Akrites Geriou has been active in Geri, in the Nicosia district, since 1990. The group introduces children and adults to Cypriot folklore, using music, dance and stage performances to share stories about life on the island and the customs that have survived. Traditional dress is part of its repertoire: the group wears these costumes at festivals.

The group performs at local celebrations and festivals, sometimes outside Geri. Previous programmes included weaving, ceramics, woodcarving and lacemaking. Check the current programme and venue before signing up for classes, attending a performance or booking a workshop.
