Food is a ritual in the Mediterranean island of Cyprus, therefore a visit to Cyprus wouldn’t be complete without trying some of the traditional Cypriot dishes and delicacies. The Cypriot cuisine is an exotic blend of Greek and Middle Eastern cultures and it’s a gastronomic experience that should not be missed!

The Mediterranean cuisine is considered to be of the healthiest thanks to the abundance of olive oil, lean meat, local herbs and freshly grown fruits and vegetables.

The main feature of the Cypriot cuisine is the ‘meze’ - a variety of many small dishes. Stuffed vine leaves (koupepia), cypriot style ravioli, local cheeses such as halloumi and feta, barbecued lamb and pork kebabs (souvla - souvlakia), meatballs and sausages, are just some of the many delicious dishes. Sweet lovers will also be impressed, since the island produces a variety of desserts.

The Cypriot cuisine is appetizing, varied and extensive and its aromas will follow you continuously. Both Grecian Park Hotel, the event’s venue and Alva Hotel Apartments are offering half board options (breakfast and dinner, with local drinks included at dinner) at special discounted rates and will give all Cyprus Tango Meeting participants the opportunity to indulge in a unique and unforgettable culinary experience!
