Dinners and Theme Nights

  • The Taverna and discovering the Meze

There are the informal tavernas which will allow visitors to experience Cypriot cuisine  and meze - the cornerstone of any visit to Cyprus.

 The word meze is short for mezedes meaning “little delicacies” and consists of a succession of many dishes which are shared by all guests on the table.  As most meze menus number over 18 different dishes, the central concept is to sample a variety of different specialities in a relaxed setting - it is not an endurance mission!

Meze can be either based primarily on meat dishes or fish each time with dips, salads, appetizers and accompanying dishes.

 

  • There are also restaurants with international cuisine for more sophisticated and elegant evening dinner

 

  • Memorable dinner venues can include archaeological sites, wineries and village squares

 

Theme Nights

We create a special evening for your group to enjoy exclusively, such as: -

 Cyprus Paniyiri (festival) theme night:

  • Takes place at an authentic village setting with dinner set up exclusively for the delegates in the village square.
  • Rustic theme will permeate the décor – flower pots, chequered table cloths, wooden chairs, traditional lacework and floor rugs, oil lamps and more.
  • Artisan Corner with demonstrations of various traditional activities such as icon-painting, coffee readers, pottery, basket weaving and others
  • Folkloric dancers and live music to entertain the guests and encourage their participation. Guests may well wonder if they have drunk too much Zivania (Cyprus schnapps) when a dancer balances up to 30 small glasses on his head while moving to traditional rhythms.

  • Togas and laurel crowns available for each guest
  • The dinner area is graced with columns, statues, flower decorations, suggestive lighting and more

  • This is an evening with Knights, Court Jesters, Fire Janglers, torches, candles, heraldic symbols, sword fights, large spits with chunks meat on large grills and probably too much wine!
