Food & Wine of Cyprus
Gourmets will particularly appreciate what Cyprus has to offer, as Cyprus cuisine consists of dishes very rich in taste, and unique in specialities.Within the very large range of the Cyprus cuisine,the three favourites are:
“Mezé”, a rich collection of as many as 20 small dishes of food.
“Moussaka”, minced meat and eggplant topped with creamy bechamel sauce
“Souvlakia”, kebabs of pork, lamb or chicken
The products of local marine aquaculture, seabream (tsipoura), seabass (lavraki) and prawns (garides) are becoming popular among the cypriots and the tourists.
Cyprus wines, famous since ancient times, are more than maintaining their tradition by becoming increasingly competitive in the International market. The quality of Cyprus table–wines features amongst the best in the world and the great variety provides a match for every kind of food and every palate.
Approximate cost for a bottle of Cyprus wine of 0,75 litre in a restaurant or a taverna: from C£5,00.
