The Cypriot cuisine is very representative for the exotic Mediterranean cuisine (various herbs and spices, olive oil, smoked and marinated meats, light garnishes and exotic dips), due to the strategic position of the country, at the intersection of Europe and Middle East. Also, Cyprus is located between Greece and Turkey, which are both countries with very strong and personalized cuisines. These 2 cuisines interacted with the Cypriot cuisine through time and now, there are many Cypriot dishes that come from the Greek meal

  • Cyprus is situated in the South-Western part of Asia, on the Mediterranean Sea. The relief of Cyprus includes both mountains and fields and the agriculture is mainly focused on rice, potatoes, grape vines and citrus fruits, which are intensively used in the local cuisine. The Cypriot cuisine is very representative for the exotic Mediterranean cuisine (various herbs and spices, olive oil, smoked and marinated meats, light garnishes and exotic dips), due to the strategic position of the country, at the intersection of Europe and Middle East. Also, Cyprus is located between Greece and Turkey, which are both countries with very strong and personalized cuisines. These 2 cuisines interacted with the Cypriot cuisine through time and now, there are many Cypriot dishes that come from the Greek meals (Greek salads, spicy dips and minced meats or smoked fishes) and Turkish foods (the Turkish dessert delights, like lokum jelly or highly sweet baklava and various kebabs).
