Οι γυναίκες
  της Λάνιας  σας καλωσορίζουν στην εκδήλωση  ‘Δρομάκια και αυλές της Λάνιας’  στις 11 και 12 Μαΐου 2019.
 
Οι γυναίκες  της Λάνιας  συναντιούνται  στο Μουσείο του χωριού  κάθε μήνα και οργανώνουν διάφορες  εκδηλώσεις. Πιο σημαντική  είναι η εκδήλωση  "Δρομάκια  και αυλές της Λάνιας "που οργανώνεται από  το 2006 το δεύτερο  Σαββατοκυρίακο του Μάη. Σ'αυτό το διήμερο οι γυναίκες  ανοίγουν τις αυλές τους για τους επισκέπτες που έχουν την ευκαιρία  να  περπατήσουν στα μυρωμένα και ανθοστόλιστα δρομάκια του χωριού και να ψυχαγωγηθούν με μουσική  και χορό.   Από το 2007 οργανώνουν τα Χριστούγεννα  τη χριστουγεννιάτικη εκδήλωση όπου ψάλλουν  τα κάλαντα  στα ελληνικά, στα αγγλικά  και σε άλλες γλώσσες  που μιλούν στο χωριό. 
Μέσα στα ενδιαφέροντα και στις ενέργειες τους είναι και η προστασία του περιβάλλοντος.  Με δική  τους πρωτοβουλία  άρχισε από το 2012 στο χωριό  πρόγραμμα  ανά κύκλωσης.
 
Φετινό  τους εγχείρημα  είναι η δημιουργία  ενός μικρού  βιβλίου συνταγών με τίτλο ‘Η Κουμανταρία στην Κουζίνα μας’.   Η Λάνια συμπεριλαμβάνεται μέσα στα 14 ΄Κουμανταροχώρια΄.   Η κουμανταρία είναι ένα γλυκό επιδόρπιο κρασί, με πλούσια γεύση, άρωμα και ιστορία.   Θεωρείται ως το αρχαιότερο κρασί στον κόσμο.   Εκτός βέβαια από το να το απολαμβάνουμε ως ποτό, μπορεί να χρησιμοποιηθεί και στη μαγειρική/ζαχαροπλαστική.   ‘Η Κουμανταρία στην Κουζίνα μας’ θα είναι προς πώληση  κατά τη διάρκεια της  εκδήλωσης ‘Δρομάκια και Αυλές’.   Ελπίζουμε να απολαύσετε τις συνταγιές μας!
 
The Women of Lania welcome you to ‘Lania Lanes & Courtyards’ 11 and 12 May 2019.   
​
The Women of Lania meet at the museum.    Our annual events are ‘Lanes & Courtyards’ [from 2006] which is held during the second weekend of May with open courtyards, music and dance, and  ‘Christmas Gathering’  [from 2007] with Christmas carols in Greek, English and other languages spoken in the village.   We are concerned with the environment.  It was our initiative which lead to the  introduction of re-cycling in the village in 2012.  

This year, we’re producing a small book of our recipes - ‘Cooking with Commandaria’.  Lania is one of the 14 Commandaria villages.   Commandaria, made from sundried grapes, is a dessert wine with a rich flavour, aroma and history.   It is believed to be the oldest wine in the world, probably made as early as 3,500 B.C..   In Lusignan times, it was produced for the Knights of Richard the Lionheart – La Grande Commandarie, from which it takes its name.   Production is controlled, with no chemicals or irrigation permitted.   Our booklet  will be on sale during ‘Lanes & Courtyards.  We hope you will enjoy using our recipes.

New Children's Play- Park Opens! 

A new play-park for children has been opened under the shade of the pines down by the old school. Congratulations to the local council for this very welcome initiative. 

Village Library Opens

A charming and well stocked local library has recently opened in the village located at the Commanderia museum. You may read the books at the library or take books home to read and return them in due course. Similarly if you have books you wish to donate please just leave them in the library. The library is locked overnight. 

Lania Council thanks those who have contributed to the Library. The Library was an initiative of Michael Owen
with the support of the Lania Council & all contributors.   Established February 2018. 

Lania Lanes Event 2018 heralded a success

"It was a delight for us to welcome new visitors and many who return year after year.   In my yard alone, we had visitors from Cyprus, Britain, Russia, New Zealand, Australia, Switzerland, Canada, Belgium, the Czech Republic, France, Israel, Ukraine, Canada, America, Holland, Norway, Germany and Sweden.    It seems they enjoy  our  serene,  genuine, unique and  happy  festivities.   We thank our visitors and remind all that ‘Lania Lanes and Courtyards’ is always the first week of May."
