dishes and a lot of specialty meat dishes. Cyprus food is similar to
that of Greece and other eastern Mediterranean countries, but with some

with Greek cooking, then that is a good introduction to Cyprus cuisine,

fish or meat based CYPRIOT MEZE, in one of the many Cypriot tavernas
and restaurants.

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 specialties you should try whilst
dining out in one of the many Cypriot restaurants, these are fish or
meat based Meze (a variety of thirty or more dishes) Kleftiko, koupepia,
souvlakia, lountza, haloumi, sheftalia, loukanika and much more. For
