Cyprus

Cafes can be found in the old part of towns, on the beach or even in villages. Relax and experience a unique atmosphere everywhere you go.

Sample their strong coffee that, though it is similar to the Turkish one, has its own touch and personality; try their frappe, a cold, foam-covered iced coffee or indulge on their Soujouko, a Cypriot sweet made of grape juice and meet the mellow side of Cyprus.

Traditional Cyprus coffee is very different from European coffee, in that it is brewed in small pots with long handles called ‘mbriki’. The coffee itself is made from fresh finely ground coffee beans and is poured into tinted porcelain cups. The amount of sugar added depends on your taste: ‘sketo’ (no sugar), ‘metrio’ (half a teaspoon of sugar), and ‘glykis’ (a full teaspoon of sugar).
