The Big Potato
About
Found on Cyprus, The Big Potato is an art gallery set in Xylofagou, within the Αγίου Δημητρίου area of Akrotiri and Dhekelia 7520. The venue sits on the island's eastern side, within easy reach of the resort towns of Ayia Napa, Protaras and Paralimni, as well as Larnaca further along the coast.
That position makes it a straightforward stop for visitors based in the eastern resorts, with Limassol, Paphos, Polis and Coral Bay all lying further afield. The gallery holds a 4.5/5 rating drawn from 373 reviews, a substantial body of feedback for a venue of its kind. Its reputation rests on its standing as an art gallery in this part of Cyprus.
Cyprus has a Mediterranean climate with long, hot, dry summers and mild winters, which shapes when most visitors plan their trips. Sandy beaches line the south and east coasts, while the Troodos range rises inland with Mount Olympus as its highest point. Halloumi, olives, carob, citrus and almonds are produced across the island.
Wine villages in the Troodos foothills hold an annual vintage festival, and lace-making continues in Lefkara. For anyone travelling between the eastern resorts and the inland villages, the gallery sits within a region that rewards a slower itinerary. Ayia Napa is the closest of the well-known coastal towns to this address.
