Agrotikon

Located near Makronissos and Landa beaches, Agrotikon offers the best of Greek and Cypriot cuisine. They are especially known for their lamb-based dishes and their ayran, a refreshing drink made primarily from watered-down yogurt. After dark, the venue becomes more of a cocktail bar with breezy outdoor seating.

Dining

The delicious Cypriot cuisine lies at the heart of the island's culture. The Cypriot meze is a banquet fit for a king with about twenty different traditional dishes. Meze is often the dish of choice for local Cypriots, ordering them for feasts, celebrations, anniversaries and other joyous occasions. It starts light with salads, dips, olives and fresh bread. Then you start to work your way up with snails, octopus in red wine, pickled capers and greens, followed by grilled halloumi (Greek cheese made from sheep and goat’s milk), smoked pork, fish, keftedes (meatballs), sheftalia and traditional Greek sausages. Then come the kebabs, chicken and lamb chops.
