Cyprus 365
Roll up your sleeves and learn to prepare authentic Cypriot dishes from local cooks. The best souvenir is a recipe you can recreate at home.
Cypriot cuisine draws on Greek, Levantine, and Mediterranean traditions, built around halloumi, olive oil, fresh herbs, and the charcoal grill. Cooking classes let you go beyond the resort buffet and discover the real flavours of the island, from squeaky grilled halloumi to slow-roasted kleftiko and the art of a full meze table.
