One of the delights that come with a visit to Cyprus is the fact that there is so much interesting food to try. This area is full of local delicacies to tempt and pamper your taste buds, so a culinary journey should definitely be on the agenda during any Cyprus trip. This is also one of the advantages of staying in Constantinou Bros Hotels. You're able to sample many of the place's culinary delights from the comfort of your own hotel, and it's also easy to venture forth into the wider area, in search of even more food adventures. Here are some of the things to watch out for.
Souvlaki
This is one of those types of food that no visitor to Cyprus should leave without trying. The basic idea behind a souvlaki is that you have various small pieces of meat, which can be chicken, lamb or pork. These can then be served on a skewer, making for an interesting snack or meal to eat with your hands. Or the meat pieces can be offered up wrapped in pita bread. These are delicious, and because of the way they are served, they make for a great way to eat if you're looking to try a little bit of everything. So be sure to try the souvlaki served in the Athena Royal Beach Hotel, and then head out and try other varieties of souvlaki served elsewhere. Your stomach will thank you for it.
Meze
Meze is another form of cuisine in Cyprus, which lends itself well to eating small portions of a wide variety of dishes. Be sure to check what kind of meze is on offer at the Constantinou Bros Athena Royal Beach Hotel. How it works is that the meal is served over various courses. Instead of each course having a lot of food to eat, the portions are much more limited. In fact, the idea here is to have enough of the food so that everyone present can have a small portion, and taste the flavour of the dish, but then that's it. This allows people to experience many different kinds of complimentary flavours, but in a way that doesn't leave people too full. If you choose to have meze at the
Athena Beach Hotel, you will find that it becomes something of a social event. People can take some food and then pass it around to all the others. So there's some interesting interaction involved in meze.
Calamari
Now, most people have tried calamari in some form or another, but there's something special about eating it in Cyprus, which is a place that is intimately connected with the sea. If you choose to have this squid at the
Athena Royal Beach Hotel, you'll be delighted to find that the meat is tender and not at all tough. In fact, because of the freshness of the squid, there's hardly any need to add other ingredients to give it flavour. Whether you're eating at the Athena Royal Beach Hotel, or at a small, casual restaurant, you'll find that some of the best calamari is prepared in a very simple way, so that the natural flavour of the squid comes out.
