Popular Foods
Souvlaki is one of the most popular dishes in Cyprus. It consists of seasoned, skewered, and grilled meat, typically pork or chicken, accompanied by pita bread and sides like potatoes, salad, and tzatziki (a yogurt-based sauce). The meat is marinated in herbs, olive oil, and lemon juice, imparting a rich flavor to the dish.
Koupepia is another popular Cypriot dish, featuring vine leaves wrapped around a mixture of minced meat (often beef or lamb), rice, onions, and various herbs and spices. They're then slow-cooked in a tomato and wine sauce, resulting in a delicious fusion of flavors and textures. Some versions may also include pine nuts or raisins for added depth.
Halloumi is a semi-hard, unripened cheese made primarily from a mixture of goat's and sheep's milk. Its high copper content gives halloumi its distinctive firm texture and rich, salty taste. Halloumi can be either smoked or unsalted, and is traditionally paired with watermelon or figs for a contrast of sweet and savory flavors.Historical Appearance
