Cyprus Carnival 2011


Carnival of Cyprus will never be better than Brazililian Carnival with its posh Venetian masks, but here, in Cyprus, it's a huge event that is worth seeing.


The most popular costume - various variations of women, these guys are Amazons.
And this is a queen of Amazonians
Less inventive Cypriots put on shorts and wigs.
Ladies Gagas
The Muppet Show - do they still watch it??
Phantoms of the Opera
Primitive men
Participants not only walk but move on huge platforms too.
Platforms are carried by tractors
Transport of little participants
Politic themes are popular too
African tribes
Vampires and other evil spirits
Bulgarians in national costumes
Romanians on the left, and weird guys on the right...
"Zaokazea" means a wry box, plump women are also called so.
Tinkerbell
Michaels Jacksons
Medusas
Other Amazonians
Bright flowers
Just married and Alberts Einsteins
Austria
Donkeys
Nurses
