Since Cyprus is a country of ethnic Turks and Greeks (for the most part), it is obvious that most Cypriot cuisine will consist of Turkish and Greek dishes. His favorite dish is the mezedes consisting of several smaller plates, mostly meat and fish dishes with vegetables. Try the spicy sausages Loukaniko and various sauces such as Tahini (sesame sauce) or Skordalia (garlic and potato sauce). Their local soft cheese is called halloumi and the locals like to eat it on the grill. As for desserts, Cypriots love to eat pudding cakes, such as galaktoboureko or mahalepi, a corn pudding with malahapi covered in rose syrup. In addition to the delicious dishes, don’t forget to try their sweet dessert called Commandaria, which combines very well with hard cheeses. Strong liquors such as ouzo, anise brandy and filfar are definitely worth tasting.
