The Sixth Pop Up Talks – Inspiring Stories, with the theme “Pathfinders: Human Paths”, was held with great success on November 15, 2025, at the Zambartas Winery in Agios Amvrosios, Limassol. In a beautiful and warm environment, with the authentic hospitality of the winery, participants had the opportunity to experience an evening full of inspiration, profound messages and meaningful personal stories.

The talks focused on the paths that people carve out through challenges, choices and inner searches. The speakers shared experiences and insights that highlight the power of authenticity, resilience and personal transformation.

In a speech titled: “Resilience with a Human Face: 20 years of the Zambartas Winery”, the winery’s director, Marcos Zambartas, presented its journey and highlighted how, thanks to its people, values and dedication to quality, it has managed to flourish through crises and challenges.

Dr Eleni Karagianni, clinical psychologist and Head of the Mental Health Center at the University of Cyprus, in a speech titled: “Ultimately, What Gives Us Strength in Life?”, took the audience on a journey into the world of mental resilience, explaining that strength is not something that is given, but rather something created through the experiences, mistakes and lessons that shape us.

Finally, Michalis Tterlikkas, performer and researcher of traditional Cypriot music, spoke of his personal journey and deep connection to his homeland. “Born in a Cyprus of a different era, very different from today, I was able to discover our homeland — the songs, the fairy tales, our values and traditions,” he said. Via his presentation, he conveyed to the audience the emotional twists and turns, as well as breakthroughs that accompanied his personal journey.

The evening ended with a discussion among the attendees and a wine tasting, offering a complete experience of exchange of ideas, inspiration and human connection.

Pop Up Talks once again confirmed their role as a platform lending a voice to people with stories that are worth hearing and that can inspire new paths and perspectives.

Cyta, the event’s main presenter, together with Strategic Partners Charalambides Christis, Inspirational Partner Health Aid, Supporter Thermomix & Kobold Cyprus, Tech Partner Exyde, PR Sponsor MSPS Cyprus, and Creative Partner Appios CreativeStudio, contributed significantly to the success of the evening, which was hosted by the Zambartas Winery.
