Cyprus, the Greek part, has wine and wineries.
I am making a list of place to see for my return visit. Top of my list is the Rose centre. I shall be trying and buying. top of my husband's list is the wineries.
Greek Food and Drink
Savoury
Taramosalata
Sweet
I shall also be looking forward to the food. Baklava. Loukaoumi. (Don't call it Turkish delight, which is in any case a brand name.) And Greek coffee. (Don't call it turkish coffee.)
Time to brush up on the Greek alphabet. My husband knows it because he is a statistician and maths was one of his favourite subjects at school . (Yes, Americans say math, singular. The Brits say maths. short for mathematics!)
You can fly into one of the two airports. On Ryanair or another budget airline.
The four major towns are Nicosia, Limassol, Larnaka, Paphos. The official languages are Greek and Turkish with English widely spoken. You will find Greek Orthodox churches, a Russian Orthodox church as well as Catholic and other churches, and a mosque or a synagogue.
See museums, Roman ruins, Churches, Waterparks, Wineries and breweries, beaches, shopping.
Other interesting areas:
Lafkara, the lace village.
