Cypriot food, like Greek, is pork-heavy. But delicious! We've sampled a variety of local meat dishes. Here's what we learned.
We catch the liquid part of a Greek Orthodox ceremony for Epiphany, but not in the way you might expect.
We try zivania, the local firewater, and find it similar to how we find the Cypriots: sophisticated but unfussy.
We do a little exploring in our own backyard, and discover centuries' worth of history in Lemesos old town.
We blend cultures like mad, combining southern and Cypriot black-eyed pea dishes to make a new year's day feast!
We take stock, and share our reflections about what the past nine months have been like. There have been highs and really no lows...
