A typical Cypriot dinner will start with meze (which means “mixture”), which consists of many small dishes with a little of everything followed by main dishes that are mostly meat-based, and end with dessert and traditional locally brewed coffee. Fish in Cyprus is often freshly caught and worth experiencing – you might well be invited into the kitchen to choose from that day’s catch.
