FOOD AND DRINK
A wide range of traditional Cypriot food is on offer from Souvla (σούβλα) a Cypriot style barbecue, where large pieces of pork are slowly cooked on a rotating spit for up to 3 hours. They are served with grilled with halloumi cheese, mushrooms and loukaniko (pork sausages). They are typically stuffed into a pitta pocket or wrapped in a thin flatbread, along with a salad of cabbage, parsley, and raw mild onions, tomatoes and sliced cucumber. Or if you have a sweeter tooth then perhaps Loukoumades would be to your taste; deep fried doughnuts with honey syrup. All food is made from fresh local ingredients and cooked with traditional Cypriot methods.
