Winemaking The oldest wine label in the world belongs to the Cypriot drink Kommandaria. At the end of the last millennium, during archaeological excavations, artifacts were discovered that confirm that winemaking on the island originated about 6,000 years ago. Jugs and pots with grape seeds were found on the site, and ancient mosaics depicting Dionysus, the Greek god of winemaking, are displayed in local archaeological museums. In ancient times, Paphos was one of the trade centers of the Mediterranean, and local wine was considered a commodity. International expert opinion indicates that it was from Cyprus that winemaking spread to France, Italy and other countries of the region. Today, the island produces drinks of the highest quality. Small family wineries emphasize the taste properties of the product rather than mass production. In addition, craftsmen primarily use local grape varieties. For connoisseurs of this ancient drink, seven tasting routes have been laid out in Cyprus, three...

Today I caught myself thinking that our days have become a series of repeated events and every day is absolutely similar to the next. In Cyprus, there is a viscous and humid heat. I have learned to endure it little by little. We cannot sleep without an air conditioner, and during the day without a fan, sweat flows like water through the body. It’s good that cool water flows from the tap in our apartment – which was not in the Account, there is continuous boiling water. Storage tanks are outside and get very hot. I start the morning very early by swimming in the sea, making progress – for me this is training. I can swim 500 meters a day. Then I go home, there are practically no people on the street, on the way I pass an alley with jacarandas blooming for the second time, in the park in front of the complex I pick a few ripe figs, in addition to breakfast. They glue their fingers and dirty the keys. I have breakfast and listen to the news of the war. It’s already a ritual. Once I said th...

http://binovskaya.com/women-images-solo-exhibition-by-tatyana-binovska-in-odesa-literature-museum-2018/ On May 18, 2018, the opening of my personal exhibition “Women’s Images” took place in the Odessa Literary Museum. After the exhibition organized for me by Robert Guliyev and Artur Balzhik, it seemed to me that arranging a personal exhibition on my birthday was a good idea. But unfortunately, as they say, “it’s better not to enter the same water twice” It was very easy for me to agree with the management of the Literary Museum about the exhibition and the timing, and of course, Robert Guliyev and Vina Guliyev supported me and KISS Chocolate joined them, we did everything as it should, but … Maybe this is my subjective opinion, but exhibitions in Odessa are of no interest to anyone, except for a dozen regular visitors who like to eat. I am tired of this. The exhibition in the Gardens of Victory was chic, although there, no one ever inquired about the cost of the work and no one bought ...

http://binovskaya.com/beautiful-city-paphos / Ancient Paphos is a treasury of architectural monuments and a keeper of the historical heritage of Cyprus. Due to these features, the city, located in the southwestern part of the island, was included in the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage List in the 80th year. Paphos was founded three hundred years before our era and was the capital of the state for more than five centuries. The settlement was repeatedly affected by the devastating effects of earthquakes, but the residents rebuilt it from the ruins each time. According to legend, the ancient Greek goddess of love and beauty, Aphrodite, was born from sea foam near the rock of Petra-tu-Romiu (Rock of the Romans). Nowadays, Paphos is the resort and cultural center of the island, with a population of over 36,000. According to Cypriots, the region is ideal for family life and those who have moved to Cyprus in search of tranquility and the surrounding beauty. Субботняя рубрика. 10 цікавих фактів...

This week we went to the beach. In general, right from home, I go to the beach for a swim every day twice. I don’t like lying and roasting in the sun. And it was a family trip to a deserted beach, which is very close and due to the lack of vacationers on it, the children called it a dog beach and you can really take our dogs out there. I had a wonderful day, I didn’t get out of the water at all, just like when I was a kid. I swam with the boys and I was flooded with memories of my childhood in Otrada.   I told my grandchildren about the barge, which I am sure everyone who went to Otrada remembers. A rusty red barge, the hatches of which were filled with water and the boys dived into their dark abyss. At first, it was far from the shore and only good swimmers could get there, later it was moved right to the beach and it was scary because the boys tried to throw us off it. It was dangerous, since the height of the side was three meters, and if you fell not into the water, but onto th...

https://youtu.be/VvhusUay2xU I went to Cappadocia in order to see this extraordinary land for myself, and I did not know that you can fly in a hot air balloon there. When I found out on the spot that this was possible, I was absolutely happy. Before that, I had already flown in a layer and it was not new to me. But I will never forget the feelings that Cappadocia gave me. In general, I am very afraid of heights, as a child I was afraid to even help my mother hang the draped curtains while standing on a chair, and then I flew!!! The ball moves so smoothly that there is no sensation of sweat, and in those moments when the burners are not working and making noise, there is an indescribable silence… The beauty of the bizarre rocks floats by smoothly and you can touch them with your hands – it’s incredible. After landing, I had hysterics from the extreme feeling of delight experienced. Я їхала в Каппадокію для того, щоб самій побачити цей незвичайний край, і я не знала про те, що там можна ...
