If you have decided to take a holiday in Cyprus, you can be sure of a wonderful break. Cyprus is a beautiful island packed with stunning beaches and luxury hotels, as well as activities galore. This certainly is a holiday destination to suit everyone. However, one of the real stars of the show when holidaying in Cyprus is the food that you will be able to sample. The prevalence of fresh vegetables and succulent roasted meats combine to make Cypriot cuisine not only memorably delicious but healthy to boot.
The gourmet traveller will be in heaven in the many Cyprus restaurants available. Traditional Cypriot restaurants abound and some of the dishes to be found include a wonderful array of meze which can be eaten either as a snack or combined to make a glorious meal. With tempting dishes such as stuffed vine leaves and delicious cheeses, a meze can also make a wholly satisfying vegetarian meal. However, for the carnivores among you, Cyprus is the place to come. Cypriots pride themselves on the quality of their pork and nowhere is this better displayed than in the spicy loukanika and pastourma sausages that adorn the meze table.
The fruits of the sea – fresh from the Mediterranean
With the fishing boats going out every day to bring the freshest of fish and seafood straight to all of the restaurants on the island, Cypriot fish dishes are remarkably good quality. Whilst many varieties of fish are available, some of the most popular are calamares and red mullet, and with fish this fresh, the best eating experience is to ask for your fish and seafood simply grilled so that you can enjoy the exquisite fresh flavours.
Fine dining options abound in Cyprus
