Cyprus Dining

Dining out in Cyprus can be a real culinary adventure. If you are familiar with Greek cooking, then that is a good introduction to Cyprus cuisine, but prepare yourself for some deliciously exotic twists. The best way to get to try Cypriot food for the first time is to order either the fish or meat based CYPRIOT MEZE, in one of the many Cypriot tavernas and restaurants. A lot of restaurants in Cyprus are open air, so most meals are taken al fresco. In Cyprus a meal is an event, so like the Cypriots remember to enjoy your meal, Siga - Siga (slowly slowly). Accompany your meal with one of the many excellent Cypriot wines, or the Cypriot beer, KEO. For an even better experience choose one of the many Cyprus restaurants that also offer live music and Greek dancing. Cyprus cuisine is mainly Mediterranean. Lots of fresh vegetable dishes, fresh fish dishes and a lot of specialty meat dishes. Cyprus food is similar to that of Greece and other eastern Mediterranean countries, but with some additional Turkish and Middle Easter influences.
