 Chilling in Büyük Han by Profsmiley
Each village in Cyprus – both in the North and South, has at least one coffee house where the men hang out. The cities have them also, but it might be harder to find them. There is also a few women-only coffee houses in the cities.
If you like to chat up with locals, it’s one of the best places to go – as they are usually friendly, and almost always opiniated ;-) Leave a Comment

 Meeting under the Clock in
Eleftheria Square by easyoar
Alongside the seats are the kiosks, sp people frequently buy a drink (Cyprus is VERY hot in the summer) while they wait. It is fairly easy for people driving to stop off on the side of the road to meet someone, which probably explains why it is so popular there. Eleftheria Square is also very central making it easy for many people to get to. Leave a Comment

Basketman by Profsmiley
As we were wandering around, we first realised that the basket stall has been moved to the front of the market. We also found out that there is now a lady running this stall. She was kind enough to let us get this memorial picture. Leave a Comment

The main thing about Cyprus in general is how trustworthy the cypriots are, you can see everywhere people leaving their key in the ignition when popping in the shops, front doors open etc... I am sure there are more that I will discover as time goes by.... Leave a Comment

Remember that what look like abandoned, empty oil drums actually mark the areas where entry is forbidden. Leave a Comment

When in Nicosia one of the most sensitive topic of discussion is the divide of the island, mainly in Nicosia due to the Green Line. I would suggest to stay off the topic as it is quite sensitive... Leave a Comment

I put some pictures to show you how Cypriots cook corek (large Cypriot bread/bun). Mostly people living in villages have a special clay oven where they can cook such traditional breads and other pastries, including traditional dishes, such as Firin kebabi in Greek Kleftikos.
Corek/ Tsoureki is usually shaped in rectangular or round.
The ones look like pretzels are called Peksemet.They are harder than bread , more like biscottis.
I took these pictures, when my grandmom and mom were cooking Corek/Tsoureki couple years ago. Leave a Comment
