Overview
To Periodiko, whose Greek name Το Περιοδικό translates as “The Magazine,” is a weekly magazine published in Cyprus. The publication was first issued in 1986 and is headquartered in Nicosia. It is published by Dias media group, a Cypriot media organization whose portfolio also includes the Simerini newspaper and Sigma TV. The magazine has operated as a general-interest periodical rather than as a narrowly specialized title. Its editorial coverage includes current events, lifestyle, politics, and fashion, giving it a broad readership proposition that combines news-oriented material with cultural and consumer-interest features. The magazine is published in full colour, a format that supports its lifestyle and fashion content as well as its general editorial presentation. To Periodiko reached a reported peak circulation of approximately 25,000 copies. The reference material describes its then-current circulation as approximately 12,000 to 15,000 copies and gives a cover price of CY£1.00. Because the source does not specify the dates associated with those circulation and pricing figures, they are retained as historical descriptive information rather than as a current financial or market-performance claim. The title’s identity is closely connected to the Cypriot media environment and to the broader Dias media group. Its role within that group places it alongside newspaper and television operations while preserving a distinct magazine format and editorial mix. Publicly available reference material provides limited information about the magazine’s editorial leadership, ownership structure beyond Dias media group, marketing campaigns, product extensions, or later changes in circulation. Accordingly, the documented profile is strongest on its launch, location, publisher, subject coverage, format, and circulation history.
History
To Periodiko is a weekly Cypriot magazine whose title means “The Magazine” in Greek. It was first published in 1986 and established its headquarters in Nicosia. From its launch, the publication operated in the general-interest magazine category, addressing readers through a combination of current events, lifestyle, politics, and fashion. The magazine is published by Dias media group, a Cyprus-based media organization that also owns or operates the Simerini newspaper and Sigma TV. This relationship situates To Periodiko within a wider cross-media publishing and broadcasting group rather than as an isolated magazine title. The available reference material does not identify the magazine’s founder, editor-in-chief, individual journalists, or specific organizational changes over time. To Periodiko is produced in full colour. Its editorial mix and presentation indicate a publication designed to combine public-affairs material with visually oriented lifestyle and fashion coverage. This broad remit differentiates it from a specialist political journal, a purely entertainment publication, or a narrowly focused fashion title. The magazine reportedly reached a peak circulation of 25,000 copies. The same reference describes circulation at approximately 12,000 to 15,000 copies during a later period and identifies a cover price of CY£1.00. The source does not attach precise dates to these figures, so they cannot be reliably assigned to a particular year or treated as present-day measurements. The available material also does not document the reasons for the change from peak circulation, nor does it provide audited circulation data. The documented history of To Periodiko is therefore primarily the history of a long-running Cypriot weekly magazine operating within the Dias media group. Public reference information does not establish a detailed chronology of editorial redesigns, digital expansion, major campaigns, acquisitions, scandals, product launches, or executive appointments. Its known profile remains centered on its 1986 origin, Nicosia base, general-interest editorial scope, full-colour format, circulation history, and relationship with Dias media group.
