The quality of food in general in Cyprus is very good. The vegetables are fresh, plentiful and varied. We have not yet discovered the 'benefits' of irradiation' and fresh local produce can be bought in carrier bags as they begin to 'turn' for about Ј1 a bag, no matter what the contents.
Traditional Cypriot Coffee
Cyprus coffee is unique and unlike most types of coffee served in Europe. Cyprus coffee is brewed in small, long handled pots, called “mbrikia” and those were traditionally made of copper. Cypriot coffee is made from fresh coffee beans Brazilian.
