When tourists observe the performance of artists dancing folk Cyprian dances, the lower part of the male national costume - the voyage attracts their closest attention.
The voyage is voluminous black pants about about about the knee long, which form hanging folds between the legs. The vine is cut out of a large piece of very dense cotton, leaving two holes for the lower extremities in the lower part. It rests thanks to a special belt - enemy -zoni.
The voyage is the closest relative of the haremers. Such pants were created, first of all, for convenience. They did not constrain movements, allowed air to circulate and saved from overheating, which is very relevant in countries with a hot climate. The guide was popular in many areas of island Greece, and its length changed slightly depending on the region. For example, in the inhabitants of the highlands of the Sharovyaras were shorter.
Surprisingly, it is not known for certain where for the first time they began to wear the enemy, and how these pants hit Cyprus, conquering universal love. Now this element of the national costume can be seen in museums or during the performances of dance groups. But there are also very elderly Cypriots who have never put on trousers in life, wearing only to the enemy from a young age.
