Cyprus Cuisine

Seafood is popular throughout the island, as is lamb kebab. Many places offer a meze, or a mix, of several small dishes served all at once as a feast. This usually include dips, olives, bread and some grilled meat. You should definitely try one on your holiday!

Traditional Cypriot dishes make good use of the abundant fresh fruit and vegetables, and vegetarians are well catered for with dishes such as stuffed tomatoes or peppers, dolma (vine leaves stuffed with rice), fried haloumi cheese and salads.

Other key dishes are moussaka, meatballs, marinated fish and octopus, and for dessert, super-sweet baklava.
