Kopiaste” in Greek stands for: “Welcome, come in and join us”. The unique geographical position of Cyprus, at the crossroads of Europe, Africa, and the Middle East, has added exotic dimensions and a rich variety to the Cypriot cuisine.

Walk through any market place in Cyprus and you can feast your eyes on a colourful collection of fresh produce available to homes and restaurants alike.

As you stroll among stalls selling cheeses, pulses, nuts and garlic, the aromatic perfumes of wild marjoram, basil and rosemary pervade the air, mingling with the baser, more pungent smell of olive oil. Glossy, dark-skinned aubergines, pimentos, enormous red tomatoes, green and black olives, melons, figs, tangerines and limes, piled high on every stall, compete for custom in vivid contrast, amidst smooth-skinned oranges, lemons and grapefruits. One glance at the busy throng should convince you that good quality produce is all important in the local cooking. So why not create a group to gather all these tastes.

For those who know nothing about Cyprus, I would like to lure you to come and visit. Cyprus, an island of legends that basks year-round in the light of the warm Mediterranean sun. A storied past 10,000 years long has seen civilizations come and go and the likes of everyone from Alexander the Great to Cleopatra stake their claim here - but then, people do tend to get possessive when faced with such beauty. Aphrodite made her home on Cyprus, and travellers throughout antiquity came here just to pay her tribute.

Today Cyprus is a modern country that effortlessly marries European culture with ancient enchantment. Here you will discover a compact world of alluring beaches and fragrant mountain peaks, vineyards studded with olive trees and ancient ruins that stir the imagination, citrus groves and old stone villages where sweet wine flows as freely as conversations at the local café. A carefree place where a sense of timelessness is magnified by the kindness of the people.
