Food and wine
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, three favourites are:
"Meze" , a rich collection of more than 20 different appetizers and savouries.
"Tava", a lamb stew with plenty of onions and tomatoes,
"Stifado", a stew of beef or hare, cooked with wine, vinegar, onion and spices.
Cyprus wines, famous in antiquity and throughout the Middle Ages, are more than maintaining their tradition by becoming increasingly competitive in the International market. The quality of Cyprus table-wines ranks with the best in the world and the great variety provides a match for every kind of food and every palate.
Approximate costs for a bottle of Cyprus wine of 0,75 litre: from C£1,00 - C£3.00.
