On June 3, 2018, Paphos citizens tried unsuccessfully to break the current record of 800 people dancing Hasapiko for five, uninterrupted, minutes. Paphians will reattempt to break the Guinness World Record and the event will be held in the square outside Paphos castle on November 11 at 4pm.

The event is organised by Paphos Municipality in cooperation with local schools and dance schools.

The event will also serve as a fundraiser for Archangelos Michail hospice.
